Ray Stinnett - A Fire Somewhere

Available for the very first time, a Fire Somewhere is the previously unreleased 1971 solo album from this former member of Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs. The songs contained the fried country twang and boogie-woogie grooves of his hometown and of his youth, but were also threaded through with the new Psychedelia: shreds of distorted guitar, looping experimental jams and acoustic renditions. 'Art is a reflection of life,' says Ray of the making of a Fire Somewhere, 'and my life was full of reflection at this time.' And it's perhaps exactly that fact which kept this incredible record unreleased for all these years.
