Ray Reed - Lookin' For The Blues (Japan Edition) (2007)

Date: Nov. 15, 2010

Ray Reed's story reads like a history of the blues. Born in 1940 to sharecropper parents in a small Texas town, he bought his very first guitar with money he saved from working in the cotton fields. He learned about the blues from his uncle, his granddad, and from listening to records on his grandma's Victrola. 1964 saw him playing gigs all over Fort Worth in a band with his sister, Lady Pearl, and her husband, Clarence Pierce. Raising his 11 children took precedence over playing music, and in the 70's Reed put down the guitar and picked up a set of auto mechanics tools. But the music never left his soul, and in the late 80's Ray again stepped back onto the stage with Lady Pearl, and the two continued to play together until Pearl's untimely death in 2002. But the family musical connection continues in Reed's life; he currently plays in Lady Pearls BTA Band, which features Pearl's daughter, Miss Kim.
It's a fascinating slice of not only local blues legend but Texas history as well. But even if I had not just told you these things about Ray Reed, you would sense them with one listen to Where The Trinity Runs Free, his new release on Dialtone Records. The blues flow from his fingers and voice. It's not just something he becomes when he steps up to the microphone or picks up his guitar; it's who he is at his core.
