"This album is not more than a couple of years old, but I already consider it among my favorite 'classic' CDs. Recognizing that it is so little known and already, bizarrely, out of print, it is also one of the strangest musical curiosities I'm aware of. Every aspect of this CD, from the songwriting, to musicianship, on through to production quality, are at the highest level of artistic craftsmanship, so I feel very fortunate to have happened upon such a well-kept secret as Bonneville. Without doubt, somewhere along the line this CD will be 'rediscovered' by getting the (mass) media attention it needs (and deserves) for it to be properly marketed."

The BEST album I have purchased in years......

"I heard the song 'Rough Luck' on public radio one morning on my ride into work. While I was driving I actually wrote down the name and title, got into my office, went online to Amazon and ordered it right away. I am 31, with a wide taste in music and I have to say Ray's style, acoustics, lyrics and compositions are wonderful. I just ordered his other CD, as I cannot get enough of this guy. You can listen to it on a quiet Sunday morning making breakfast or during a dinner party, and your friends will definitely ask,"who is this and where can I get it""
