Don Ray Band - On Top of the Heap (2009)

The Don Ray Band is an all original, Rockin' Americana musical project created by Don Ray and involves some of the nation's best songwriters and studio / touring musicians. Their musical collaborations are unique and have proven hard to put a single label on the results… which have been called everything from "Rockin' Blues" to "Southern Rock" to "Blue Eyed Soul" to "Rock N Southern Country Roll" by some of the nations most notable music writers. One thing all of these writers have agreed upon, however, is that the music is refreshingly original and a pleasure to listen to over and over again. The Don Ray Band single "Love Is" featuring Shaun Murphy was submitted to the 2012 Grammy Awards commitee.

The DRB project is lead by singer/songwriter and percussionist Don Ray. Don was first based out of Austin, TX. and now Nashville, TN. Some of the talent involved have toured or recorded with Bonnie Raitt, Jerry Reed, Brooks and Dunn, Earl Thomas Conley, Pam Tillis, and former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle to name a few. While other musicians and singers involved have performed on dozens of master recording sessions by major hit recording artists over several musical genres.
