Absolutely!  Another way of saying "outstanding"!

Interesting. I hate them both. Something about the singing style. Each to his own. See you back in a few minutes.

Not a huge fan, I will admit.  It sure seems like he gets a lot of plays.  Was surprised to see just 5 in last 30 days.  One of those tunes I feel like I hear to often.

Why does it matter in either case?

The lyrics alone,conjure up such a picture and feel of a young mans Lament, "Howling at the moon like a slack jawed fool' country rocking, reminicent of C S N & Y..... ( imo ){#Guitarist}

Nice tune, I just wish he would take a deep breath before beginning a line........any line.

I really do not like this man's voice and the way he uses it... too bad.

I don't usually go for the whiny singers, but Ray's voice has a huskiness that makes it sound not quite like whining — like, maybe, a melancholy reflection on aspects of Life that aren't barefoot dancing in a field of daisies.

Come on! Let the peddle steel just wash over you like an August wave from the Atlantic. His voice is like if velvet and chocolate had a baby and named it Fresh pot of coffee.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I'd go with you on that.   

 
I was absolutely sure ( convinced ) it was a Joni cover.

The guitar hooks are coming from the left speaker. Sounds like the guy's just sitting over in the corner, throwing in a lick here and there. Cool.

 I would have bet money this was a woman singing - tend to like that type of voice on a woman singer
