Kay Kay and the Rays formed around the Abner Burnett Blues Band in 1997 when Abner was looking for a lead singer. El Paso, Texas native Kay Kay Greenwade joined the band which eventually changed its name to Kay Kay and the Rays. Standing over six feet tall, Kay Kay cut an imposing figure and her voice was bigger than Texas. Together, the band made three albums for Catfood Records before Kay Kay suffered a stroke and was possibly permanently sidelined.

Kay Kay is at home "belting it out" and has one great voice and a great band behind her soulful presence. The band is exciting and the lyrics are great...a breath of fresh air! "Solid, catchy blues riffs, powerful vocals and great compositions punctuate this new release from The Rays...astoundingly visceral songs...incredibly fierce vocals...an amazing band." - Southwest Blues Magazine.

Hard-edged blues, social protests and deep soul ballads ... a classy, sassy, intelligent and thoroughly entertaining record. Greenwade's contributions lend a great amount of gospel and soul, resulting in a sound that pushes the envelope in a genre known for it's staunch traditionalism.

Personnel: Kay Kay Greenwade (vocals); Bob Trenchard (bass); Steve Lott (guitar, backup vocals); Dan Ferguson (keyboards); Andy Roman (saxophone); Tommy Taylor, J.T. Paz (drums).
