Vocals in the vein of Nick Drake and Bruce Cockburn. Progressive slide-guitar in a myriad of alternate guitar tunings, sounding a lot like a young acoustic Jimmy Page.

*********************************

The music of Sunshine City Tree stands in contrast to a consumer-driven and rushed society. The 100 original CD melds Nick Drake-styled folk and a singing slide-guitar like that of the Allman Brothers Band, while the vocals define what it means to express a soulful simplicity.

This is Jeff Ray's debut CD using nine different guitar tunings, a slide-guitar, Hammond organ, vocal harmonies, and a 'cello to create one of the most progressive new folk sounds by a young artist today. To capture the music's simplicity and soul, the CD was recorded using a 4-track analog recorder and NO digital effects.

When we recieve a confirmation of your purchase, we will email you a weblink to download the FREE 7-song live CD.
Enjoy the music!
