CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A PUBLISHING DEAL FOR THIS ALBUM............
"I love music. I love playing it, I love singing it and I have the Lord above and my family to guide me along the way . Every song I write is straight from the heart." . These words are like a mantra for Ray Riddle, who has written more songs than he can even count. A childhood spent on a rural Ohio dairy farm is the inspiration for many of the tunes, with songs like 'Take me Back' and the signature 'Country Boy' conjuring images of warm summer nights after a long day working the fields. As a boy he toyed with guitar, buying his first for ten dollars in a local store. But without other musicians to learn from, he could only progress so far. As a teenager, he left the fields of Ohio for the coal mines of Kentucky and befriended some local bluegrass players, who helped him hone his skills. "I'd go around to people's houses, and we'd play 'till all hours of the night. That right there was what really taught me how to play."

___________________After many years of playing music across middle America Ray has teamed up with Evan Py of Inline Productions in 2006 to record and release a full length album in early 2007......." Ray sent me a demo cd and I was blown away by the music. I remember thinking to myself " wow, this guy is a genuine country musician " I loved every song and played them over and over the day I got the cd. I knew right away when I saw my 10 month old son who can barely walk start dancing up a storm to " Won't You Love Me " the first time we played it I needed to get Ray in the studio to begin recording a full length album. " said evan.... Video of the 10 month old ( Dustin ) dancing can be seen in Ray's video section of the myspace page while Ray sings Dustin's favorite song " Won't You Love Me". I related to Ray's music from the moment I heard the first song and I know there are many others that feel the same way .
