Scott Ray is a great country singer! The basic formula for treating sprains is "RICE": rest, ice, compression and elevation. Ice can be essential in reducing the swelling that often comes with sprains. Here are a few pointers on using ice effectively: - A cold pack designed for treating injuries can be helpful, but it's by no means necessary. If you don't have one, try using bags of frozen vegetables instead. Peas and corn are good bets: they are light, and they can contour snugly around the injured body part—often better than a bag of large ice cubes can. - Apply ice for 20 minutes. Wait 40 minutes (or longer) before applying again. - Never apply ice or a cold pack directly onto the skin. (In some cases, this can cause a form of frostbite.) Instead, place a moist towel between the ice and your skin. - Pay extra attention to skin exposure when using store-bought cold packs. Some can reach colder temperatures than ice. The RICE formula is usually recommended for the first 24 to 48 hours after injury. However, if you suspect your sprain is severe or if your injury is not improving, consult a physician. Before beginning or engaging in any fitness or exercise program, consult with your physicianRead full review
Ray Scott has one of those deep-from-the-gut voices that any guy would admire and any woman would swoon over. But unlike Trace Adkins, Scott sometimes cannot handle his own material, and he tends to sing-talk through most of his songs. The catchy tunes on his debut CD, though, save Scott from being the run-of-the-mill country singing cowboy. Like one of the tracks on his CD, Scott is indeed a "Different Kind of Cowboy," which happens to be one of the best times you can have listening to a song. Throughout his CD, he connects with his listeners just enough as if he was a close friend who stops by with a six-pack after a long day at the work site. Scott’s fan base should continue to grow through his touring and sophomore CD. And, personally, I can’t wait for that second helping. His five-man back-up band is keen enough to play to Scott's rumbling baritone without drowning it out. Troy Klontz's steel guitar almost plays duet to the lead singing and adds a nice atmosphere to Scott's tumbleweed-in-the-wind vocals. The rest of the band keeps competent rhythm throughout the 13 tracks. Jack Gavin's drums bring a bravado to the hit single and seemingly-autobiographical title track. “My Kind of Music” pits a man, who may or may not be Ray Scott, against a beautiful woman he decides to date. Alas, this close-to-perfect girl doesn't know the difference between The Eagles and Johnny Cash, and thinks that Alan Jackson is new. Meanwhile, Ward Davis' keyboards accentuate the out-of-reach, yet aching-need of stability in "Gypsy." The crown achievement is listening to Ray Scott sing about a man looking for heavenly salvation on his own time in "Bear With Me Lord." All in all, Ray Scott plays to the blue-collar crowd, relating to those of us who haven't had life handed to us on a silver platter. To those of us who come home with a dirty shirt and greasy hands. You'll enjoy the listening experience immensely, absorbing the easily-digestible lyrics, and thinking: Thanks for understanding how I feel, Ray. You said it exactly!Read full review
I love the fact that Ray Scott goes back to his roots to make some of his own sound and lyrics. Sometimes artists forget that, but this doesn't. He hits it home with Gone Either Way and Diffent Kind of Cowboy. Walls, with the help of Steve Wariner on lead guitar, is a classic, fast paced song that would fit right in to today's music. Gypsy is a song about the life of a singer. It hits home with me. If you are a true lover of great country music, not mainstream, buy this album!
Great album. The song My Kind of Music is classic country at its best.
