I totally disagree with you. In my opinion he has enormous talent and a very low key demeanor. I enjoy his work a lot. I think he writes great lyrics and I feel that his voice is unique and special.

Some unnecessarily harsh criticism of Ray below.  I think he's pretty good.

Great stuff.  However, I have to say this whole Grizzly Adams beard trend nowadays just kills me.

Your RL name is 'Amy', isn't it? Just guessing from your tagline: us EJ fans gotta stick together. Oh yeah: IknowwhatyoumeanandIthinkRayisgreattoo.

Kind of like a burger with no cheese...not too bad, but something's definitely missing.

Maybe he has a respiratory ailment like asthma.

He's got such a distictive delivery, its both a blessing and a curse.  That which makes me say "wow" eventually makes all the songs sound the same.  I feel similarly about Sufjan Stevens... I like him, but I need a break occasionally to keep from getting "too much" of a good thing.

I first heard Ray on an NPR program in 2004. I was captivated immediately by his voice and the arrangement of his songs and vowed right then and there to get some of his music. It took me another six months before Trouble came out to get some of his music, and since then I have purchased everything he has put out.

What a wonderful artist!!
