RICARDO "RITCHIE" RAY ORCHESTRA

"LET'S GO DOWN TO THE REAL NITTY GRITTY"

One of Ricardo "Ritchie" Ray swingest albums-- a cocktail of Latin and Soul styles like Pucho or Mongo, but a lot more mixed up!. The album features mainly 60s soul covers done here in a wild party Latino style, touched with raunchy Soul vocals, making the whole album quite solid and playful all over -- filled with non-stop Stompers that keep on delivering a real cool time!. Our favorite track is the Rivieras‚"California Sun" because of its uniqueinterpretation. But the entire album is great and enjoyable, even their own Soul Mexico sounds like a Stax classic !!!. Also included "Ya Ya", "Mony Mony", "Soul Man" , "Shout", "I Want You To Be My Girl" and 5 more.
