You hear big words thrown around in reviews a lot of the time, but never has the term undiscovered genious been so deserved. Dan Cray is an amazing songwriter, a heartwrenching singer, and a masterful twister of tales.

 You can never be sure if its funny or sad, which makes it real. Lyrics about life in the way that life feels for most of us. He directs his good natured if sarcastic 'observivness' in familiar directions, love, booze, hurt, and emptiness, but like greg brown or even maybe dylan, the harshest digs are just really a humorous recognition that fate and god are at play in every struggle, and just because we can't always overcome it all, doesn't mean we can't recognize the tragic beauty of life all around us.


and on top of that - the guitars say it as well as the words. The lowfi recordings only ad to the charm. 

Discover the reclusive Cray NOW, or wait till a day when you will wish you could say that you did... either way these songs will find their way home to you.
