Ray Harris

In the annals of Sun Records, Ray Harris is but a footnote. He just noticed two singles released on the tiny yellowish label, but his inclusion in virtually any rock history publication is dependant on the actual fact that both of these records just eventually a number of the best and rawest rockabilly ever documented at Sunlight or somewhere else in the 1950s. Given birth to in Mississippi, Harris began as a right ahead country vocalist before hearing Elvis Presley and surmising that he could possibly be doing a similar thing and reaping just of the same talk about from the benefits. He moved as much as Memphis and equipped with bit more than a burning up desire to create it within the record business, come up with a little combo with a watch on documenting for Sam Phillips and becoming on Sun Information. Both singles he documented, “SERIOUSLY Small Mama” and “Greenback Buck Watch & String” both do brisk local product sales but had been both too eventually raw to become heard on r / c North from the Mason-Dixon collection. After playing business lead guitar on several stray classes at sunlight studio (he is able to be noticed on Jimmy Income’ classes), Harris defected towards the additional side from the glass, learning to be a successful maker for Hi Information in the past due 1950s and early ’60s.
