Our Take

JOHNNIE RAY - The Big Beat / Johnnie Ray

Everyone's favourite guilty pleasure crooner, Johnnie Ray, is back with a bang on his latest album 'The Big Beat'. Known for his charmingly off-kilter vocals and infectious energy, Ray delivers a collection of classic hits with a modern twist that will have you tapping your feet and shaking your hips in no time.

From the opening track "Cry" to the soulful ballad "Walking My Baby Back Home", Ray's signature blend of rockabilly and jazz is on full display, reminding listeners why he became a household name in the first place. The infectious energy of tracks like "Just Walking in the Rain" and "Yes Tonight, Josephine" will have you singing along in no time, while the more introspective moments on songs like "A Sinner Am I" showcase Ray's vocal range and emotional depth.

While some may dismiss his music as old-fashioned, there's no denying the timeless appeal of Johnnie Ray's sound. His ability to seamlessly blend genres and evoke a sense of nostalgia makes 'The Big Beat' a must-listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. So go ahead, pour yourself a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Johnnie Ray sweep you off your feet with his latest offering. Trust us, you won't regret it. Cheers to you, Johnnie Ray!

About the artist

Johnnie Ray

JOHNNIE RAY: The Torchbearer of Emotion If you're looking for a musical experience that will make you feel all the feels, look no further than the one and only Johnnie Ray. Born in Oregon back in 1927, this crooner has been captivating audiences with his powerful vocals and emotive performances for decades. Ray burst onto the music scene in the early 1950s, quickly making a name for himself with hits like "Cry" and "The Little White Cloud That Cried." His soulful voice and raw emotion were a breath of fresh air in a sea of cookie-cutter pop stars, and he quickly became known as the "Prince of Wails." But Ray's success was not without its ups and downs. His personal life was often as tumultuous as his music, with rumours of wild parties and scandalous affairs following him wherever he went. Despite the drama, Ray's talent shone through, and his songs continue to resonate with audiences to this day. From his early days as a struggling musician to his legendary performances at venues around the world, Johnnie Ray's impact on the music industry is undeniable. So, if you're in the mood for some heartfelt tunes that will tug at your heartstrings, give Johnnie Ray a listen. Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy - you're going to need them.
