Richard Ray FARREL - Bohemian Life 2003


Richard Ray FARREL - Bohemian Life 2003
Label: Blue Beet

There has been a great surprise to listen to this excellent CD recorded by Richard Ray Farrell, a singer and guitar player born in Niagara Falls, N.Y. forty-nine years ago and who has been living in Spain for some time. As the CD title says, Richard has always been a bohemian, a tireless traveller who has visited half Europe and after some years staying here and there, has finally decided to come back to the United States and try to get the reputation he really deserves. Specialized media and popular blues artists have spoken wonderfully about him as an excellent singer and musician. For this CD Richard Ray has a very special guest, Jerry Portnoy, who performs harp on three tunes, and the contribution of Benjie Porecki on organ and Steve Gomes on bass. Sixteen Farrell's original tunes that will certainly surprise listeners and delight all blues fans. GREAT. Vicente Zumel "La Hora Del Blues" - Radio Barcelona, Spain
