| Bluesman Ray Davis Signs With SRI The remarkable bluesman Ray Davis has signed with SRI Jazz. "Ray brings a unique blend of blues and jazz to the label and we are extremely happy to have Ray as a new member of the SRI family. We know that music fans will agree with us that Ray is one of those great journeyman jazz and blues artists whose time has come", said label head Shelly Liebowitz. "We are doing something very unusual with Ray Davis, we are releasing two albums at the same time. "Shadows Of A Memory" is from Ray Davis & Pocketful of Blues, Ray's blues group and the "Ray Davis Trio" is a traditional soulful jazz album. Both of these albums are available in the SRI Music Store now and will be available at all digital outlets like iTunes and Amazon.com shortly. We plan to release CDs and vinyl product to retailers early in 2012", added Liebowitz.. "We have placed both albums in our Jukebox where our visitors can listen to full songs at no cost. We hope that everyone will listen and enjoy these wonderful albums from this very great blues and jazz artist and want to add them to their music collection." Cultivated in the thick, red dirt of Oklahoma, Ray Davis has blown his harmonicas and sung his soulful versions of jazz, blues, funk, and reggae across the Southwest United States. From California to the famous Blue Cat Blues in Deep Ellum, Dallas, TX, Ray Davis, with his group Pocketful of Blues, have rocked crowds with the ever-pleasing covers as well as with his sincere originals. Ray has opened for such popular blues artists as Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Lang, and the Legendary Chicken Hawks. He has starred in a regional Braum's television commercial featuring his singing and harp playing. He has an established fan following and can be seen at numerous blues festivals across the Midwest, or at any number of his favorite hang-outs such as Moose and Vinny's, Six Flags, or the TX Motor Speedway Club in Ft. Worth. SRI Jazz and SRI Records are part of SRI Music Group providing quality, collectible Blues, Jazz, Country and Rock N Roll from major artists past and present.
