Album Notes

John Trollmann's debut release, Ray's Last Stand, is a concept that began with the title song. "I was riding my bicycle in and around Death Valley in California some thirty years ago," John explains, "when I came upon an outpost on a seldom traveled road run by a lone gentleman selling soft drinks and beer, and easing weary travelers into conversation. That image stuck with me and became the inspiration for the title song as well as the other songs on the CD.

About the album:

Ray's Last Stand came together with the help of long-time friend and singer/songwriter Gil Dabney. The album takes the shape of a whimsical journey through the lone and arid landscape of California and the West; where dreamers and misfits wander, and where pie-in-the-sky hopes and dreams live and die; it's about places that ruminate in the heart, they take up as much space as the landscape itself.

John lives in the seaport town of San Pedro, CA. This is his first album.
