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 soul-blues powerhouse has crafted an incendiary sound and narrative\, combining classic soul melodies and funky R &\; B grooves with raw blues power.
\n\nThe pair'\;s first 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&rsquo\;s follow up \;In Too Deep \;won a plethora of awards including the Blues Music Award for &lsquo\;Soul Blues Album of the Year&rsquo\;.
\n\nRayford&rsquo\;s new release is entitled \;&lsquo\;Human Decency&rsquo\;. 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. \;
\n\nAbout the leadoff single\, &ldquo\;Run For Cover&rdquo\; a song that takes no prisoners\, Q Magazine declares\, &ldquo\;The bluesey soul of Rayford comes on full steam with this powerhouse single.&rdquo\; \;
\n\n&ldquo\;We&rsquo\;re calling people on their bullshit but we&rsquo\;re having fun with them. That&rsquo\;s my way. I&rsquo\;m gonna tell it to you straight but with love in my heart. I always bring some suga with the salt!&rdquo\; says Sugaray\, bellowing with laughter.
\n\nAn all-star cast lent their talents to the album\, including guitarist Rick Holmstrom and singer Saundra Williams who are both from Mavis Staples&rsquo\;s band\, along with bassist Taras Prodaniuk (Lucinda Williams\, Merle Haggard).
