Release 1991
Born half native indian as LINCOLN WRAY in 1929. Started with his first band the
RAY MEN in 1955 playing country influenced Rockabilly.
His song RUMBLE recorded 1955 but first released in 1958 hit the top 20, and is till
today -  a must have for every true collector, what a raw trashy guitar riff he had found.
From 1963 till 1970 he made many recordings but only singles saw the light of the day.
In 1971 a new album on Polydor, the first since 1963 was released and shows his country
influence again ... this is very recommended.
From now on he released constantly albums on different labels like POLYDOR, VIRGIN;
CHARISMA, LINE etc.
In 1977 and 1978 he recorded together with ROBERT GORDON  a Rockabilly - Punk singer.
