    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Current Blues Alive. Sugar Ray Rayford has a new single out entitled Human Decency. That's the title of his new single according to sugarrayrayford.com. The title track is a simple reminder that our similarities are more substantial than our differences, and in the end, there is no black or white or left or right. There are only hearts and minds. Now that is the truth. I love the new single Human Decency. It is a powerhouse single.

    I call Rayford the message man. When you've got Rayford, that's what you got. He has a powerful voice and sound to carry it out. Rayford is a combination of sounds. He combines classic soul melodies and funky R&B blues together.

    You've got to hear the album. If you’re searching for some great blues of today, I know that Sugaray Rayford is the man. The blues soul man. The message man. The Grammy nominated soul blues singing man. Sugaray Rayford is the man you want to hear. Thank you for listening to Current Blues Alive.
