About this album

New Ray Of Sunshine finds Dobie Gray moving easily between smooth soul and country-inflected songwriting, creating one of his most relaxed and approachable albums. Issued in 1975, it reflects a period when artists were broadening soul’s sound into softer, more crossover-friendly territory without losing emotional directness. Gray’s supple voice gives the material its unity, whether on reflective ballads or lightly cruising mid-tempo cuts such as the title song and Drive On, Ride On. The result is a record that shows his skill at balancing earthy charm, melodic polish and understated feeling.

Genre: Soul & Funk
