It all began in 1997,\u003cbr\u003ewhen a young Mathias Arnold joined a band called 'The\u003cbr\u003eThunderbirds'-which had already been active for three years- in his\u003cbr\u003ehometown in the countryside in the Leipzig area. With Mathias as the\u003cbr\u003esinger and rhythm guitarist, the group later renamed itself to the\u003cbr\u003e'Moonlight Classics.'\u003cbr\u003eAlongside the 'Moonlight Classics', Mathias began working on a new solo\u003cbr\u003eproject in 2004. The search for a suitable 'stage name' proved somewhat\u003cbr\u003emore difficult than initially anticipated. It wasn't supposed to be a\u003cbr\u003efanciful, particularly flashy name, but rather one that would suit the\u003cbr\u003emusic he was performing and could have fit seamlessly into a rockabilly\u003cbr\u003e'Various Artists' compilation. In his search for a suitable stage name,\u003cbr\u003eMathias turned to two artists he had known and admired for many years.\u003cbr\u003eMilton Allen, with his voice - which, by rockabilly standards, seemed\u003cbr\u003eunusually classically trained - and the vocal prodigy Roy Orbison\u003cbr\u003eultimately served as the inspiration for Mathias's new stage name, Ray\u003cbr\u003eAllen. Whether Ray comes at you with an up-tempo rocker, a heartbreak ballad, a\u003cbr\u003eteen pop song, a country tune, an original, or a cover, he always sounds\u003cbr\u003epowerful, raw, and authentic. You have to know when his recordings were\u003cbr\u003eactually made to realize that they were created in this millennium and\u003cbr\u003enot between 1957 and 1962.\u003cbr\u003eWe're excited to present a small selection of our favorite Ray Allen\u003cbr\u003esongs from the past nearly 20 years.\u003cbr\u003eTurn up your speakers, put on your dancing shoes, grab your dance\u003cbr\u003epartners, and rock out with Ray!\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eCareless Mama\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhythm Bomb Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Country\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68:58 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/06\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4260072726284\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"RHYTHMBOMB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50517902786809,"sku":"RBR6028","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/RBR6028.jpg?v=1790085151","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/ray-allen-the-many-sides-of-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
