ray reed made a cd!

well, i'll be damned. turns out ray reed, gtrist-vocalist with the b.t.a. band, released a cd last year on austin-based dialtone records (i'd link to the site, but his disc, inexplicably, doesn't appear there). even sumter bruton at record town doesn't have a copy yet. if i can lay hands on one, i'll pen a review for _somebody_ (since only the austin chronicle appears to have written it up, so far). ray's by far the most legit blues thang in town, and i'm proud to have stood onstage with him (and bassist quincy brown, r.i.p.) when i briefly subbed with them on second gtr back in 2002-2003.

ADDENDUM: it looks like the label might be out of business. shit. but i emailed his niece miss kim, and she said she'd try and get me one.
