"Can I Run To You" ~ Artist: Michael Ray: Album: "Can I Run To You" --- By International Music Reviewer Rhonda Readence ~ Michael Ray, pianist extraordinaire, cites rock, R&B and gospel among his musical influences, and there are certainly elements of R&B in his single “Can I Run To You” There is also a bit of a jazz essence as well, and it’s not a stretch to imagine Michael Ray singing gospel either. Michael is accompanied by his brother Stephen on drums as he gracefully performs his single “Can I Run To You” The piece begins with some of the most melancholy and beautiful piano work to humble the music world in recent past. Michael’s vocals are rich and smooth, as he delivers the well-written lyrics of this exquisite love song. Stephen’s percussion work is the perfect compliment to the bittersweet melody of this piece and the entire rhythm of this track is one of gently flowing water. “Can I Run To You” is truly an artistic vision, not only within the instrumentation but also within the lyrics. Michael Ray’s skill as a songwriter is predominately apparent as he is able to reach into the depths of his own soul to find these words. This song is about love and acceptance and finding the one person who completes you. Anyone who has ever been in love will find a kinship with this song that will last indefinitely. The track length is perfect, as it gives listeners a good sense of Michael’s talents and beautiful lyrics without becoming repetitive and allowing the attention to wander. The sound quality is likewise exceptional and each gracefully played note on the piano rings out with clarity. Stephen’s light percussion is also engineered with skill, as it keeps the song moving elegantly along without becoming the focal point at any time during the track. Overall, “Can I Run To You” is skillfully written and brilliantly composed. The instrumentation and sound quality are exceptional, and the vocals are solid throughout. The piano playing is simply beautiful and Michael Ray’s single will have no problem standing on its own. After hearing this piece, fans will likely seek out the full-length album because they will undoubtedly be impressed with just about every aspect of this track, as they should be. --- By International Music Reviewer Rhonda Readence

"Piano Blues" ~ Artist: Michael Ray: Album: "Can I Run To You" --- By International Music Reviewer Nick DeRiso ~ West Coast-based pianist Michael Ray has been performing with sibling drummer Stephen since they were 10 and 7 years old, respectively. Together, they’ve played more than 2,300 concerts together. That deeply ingrained sense of musical brotherhood, almost like the two are finishing each other’s sentences, plays out on the idiosyncratic, cool-rocking single “Piano Blues.” Michael opens the song with gospel-tinged piano run, playing over the top of a loping, idiosyncratic rhythm from Stephen. It’s a beat that strongly recalls the jazz funerals that parade through the slanted downtown streets of New Orleans, and it defines the record. See, as “Piano Blues” moves forward, the keyboard performance can recall Oscar Peterson, with its muscular definition and urgent runs. Then, as Michael begins to comp with one hand and circle and cry with the other, there’s a bluesy complexity that points toward Horace Silver. Except that neither played in front of the complex cacophony of Stephen’s drumming. Taken together, it’s all perhaps most reminiscent of Blues Hall of Famer Henry Roeland Byrd, the New Orleans piano genius who took the stage name Professor Longhair. Both Michael Ray and Byrd share a quirk-filled musical sensibility, one that brings in a dizzying array of influences and then lets the song take its own sometimes bumpy, always intriguing course. Stephen, too, recalls Byrd’s galloping sides; in particular “Tipitina,” which featured an intricate, though similarly soulful rhumba beat from Earl Palmer. Part of what promises to be the brothers’ sixth compact disc together, “Piano Blues” then moves into a slowly swaying signature. From this tender moment, sad but resolute, Michael then concludes with a stirring blues-inflected run. That brings the song to a close in a more conventional manner, as the rhythm comes to a crashing halt, yet it still underscores the broader talents that the brother's possess. If this song is any indication, their forthcoming release promises to be a sweeping, offbeat joy. — By International Music Reviewer Nick DeRiso

FANS CD REVIEWS

~ Mona from Sweden: No review in the world could ever make your amazing album justice, Michael, but I've made a try anyway... Michael Ray’s timeless masterpiece ’’Can I Run to You’’ invites you to a romantic world of unforgettable melodies with stunning soundscapes composed and performed with outstanding technical brilliance and feeling. Not only reveals the album, Michael as one of the world’s foremost piano virtuosos, but also as an excellent singer songwriter. The catchy refrain in the title track ‘’Can I Run to You’’ wraps around the heart like a beautiful dreamweb. These are feelings transformed into music. Michael’s astonishing voice filled with emotions works its magic in love-infused songs like ‘’I Love You Too’’ and ‘’You Made Me Love Once Again’’. " On ‘’What Would Have Been’’, Michael makes romantic despair sound good and proves once more that he has musical talent that verges on the magical. ‘’I Long For You’’ is another jewel of this album. This instrumental song opens up to a universe of melodic wonders waiting to be discovered – over and over again. There is always something new each time you hear it. Many of the songs are accompanied by Michael’s gifted brother Stephen on drums. The powerful ballad ‘’Nothing but a Dream’’ truly shows his mastery. Here the drumbeats are so intense they almost become tactile. Like echoing lonely heartbeats they perfectly reflect the subject-matter of the song. Michael Ray’s ‘’Can I Run To You’’ is music touched by hands of heaven.”FANS CD REVIEWS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~ Marilyn from USA: I Just wanted to let you know how much your music has been such a gift in my life.
