Pat, boy are you digging up the past. How old was that thread? Yeah, I felt Ray was going to be huge as well, but it hasn't happened yet. The record is gold and slowly picking up new fans.
The album is not as strong as Norah Jone's first CD but there are several excellent tracks on it. Maybe it will take a 2nd CD to put him over maybe not

He's playing Austin next month!

This may sound petty but the venue he is playing at has no seating but I think I'll go anyway.
