Jerry Rea and Wanda Stiles are our dear friends and former neighbors in Carlsbad. They have had some exciting news to share over the past couple weeks - a new album of songs from Jerry.
Jerry selected previously unrecorded masters that showcase his amazing range and versatile styling. Jerry's singing is as good or better than anybody's over the past 5 decades. The following email from Wanda best summarizes the particulars.
(To quote Wanda)
"Hi, Family & Friends,
After several months working on the release a CD of his music, Jerry has triumphed! He has been negotiating with K-tel, which, after hearing his music, agreed to sponsor the release of his entire album, If You Try You'll Find Me. His music name is Jerry Ray. Of the 21 songs, he wrote 16, and of course, sings them all. K-tel no longer deals in physical CD's, so it is in digital form only on iTunes. It will probably show up on Amazon, but isn't there yet, as it was on iTunes only as of today. Each $.99 download will help us buy food. (Ha, ha!) Or, if you really want to splurge, order the whole album for $7.99!
Attached is a picture of the album cover.
Jerry suggests, "Do not listen to Ol Hee Haw and Calling Ralph," as they are inappropriate for some audiences!
Please enjoy!!"
Below, is a screenshot look at the iTunes web page. I can attest that my $7.99 purchase was an unbelievable bargain, plus, it felt good to know I was putting food on Jerry's and Wanda's shelves.
The hard copy CD will be released soon in limited numbers, and below is a preview of the box proof. I was flattered Jerry chose my burro picture for part of the project. Gail and I feel like Rock and Roll groupies! Wanda took the front cover photo, which I think is a perfect choice.
You rock, Jerry!
