For the newly initiated, one of the first things that becomes obvious is Ray's deep love of the blues: Mississippi Delta, South Side Chicago, and Texas Honky Tonk. His heartfelt slide guitar playing even won praise of his biggest idol and influence- the late, great Muddy Waters, a moment Ray will cherish forever.

You can hear the blues and much more on all of Ray's recording, particularly his most recent offerings: Damn Guitars and Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers, Live! On Oahu Records. His recordings move seamlessly from one form of American roots music to the next- from the righteous rockabilly of "Loves So Tough" to the Cajun stomp of "Oh My Cherie"; from the dark blues of John Lee Hooker's "In the Mood" to the Texas style shuffle of "Everything That's Good."
