"One way to put it, Gilbert Louie Ray’s lyricism, crooning style, and bitter sweet storytelling is what sets him apart. Each song a journey and exploration of pain, pleasure and day to day figments of cynical word play under the influence of love. Arrangements are light but deeply rooted in bluegrass and folk. A wonderful complication of pure sentiments, Gil comes out honest and shining with a waving melodic mid vocal range and a simple yet intricate chord structure with movement to his songs."
