Sugaray Rayford is a man with a message and a larger than life
personality and voice to deliver it
Working with producer, songwriter Eric Corne for the past 3 albums, the soulblues powerhouse has crafted an incendiary sound and narrative, combining
classic soul melodies and funky R & B grooves with raw blues power.
The pair's frst collaboration, 'Somebody Save Me', earned Rayford a 2020
Grammy nomination. Later that year he took home Blues Music Awards for 'Soul
Blues Male Artist' and 'B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.' Rayford's follow up In
Too Deep won a plethora of awards including the Blues Music Award for 'Soul
Blues Album of the Year'.
His new release is entitled 'Human Decency'. The title track is a simple reminder
that our similarities are stronger than our differences and in the end, there is no
black or white or left or right, there are only hearts and minds.
About the leadoff single, "Run For Cover" a song that takes no prisoners, Q
Magazine declares, "The bluesey soul of Rayford comes on full steam with this
powerhouse single."
"We're calling people on their bullshit but we're having fun with them. That's my
way. I'm gonna tell it to you straight but with love in my heart. I always bring some
suga with the salt!" says Sugaray, bellowing with laughter.
An all-star cast lent their talents to the album, including guitarist Rick Holmstrom
and singer Saundra Williams who are both from Mavis Staples's band, along with
bassist Taras Prodaniuk (Lucinda Williams, Merle Haggard).
