The Rick Ray Band have released their new album titled "Can' Lie Hard Enough".  Album #32 for Rick (including his previous bands Neurotic, The Rick Ray Band [Version 1] and Riot Act, recordings which had spanned from '78 to the present).  With Dennis Corrigan singing lead vocals and playing harmonica, Wally Spisak playing bass and singing backup vocals, Paul Geltch playing his vintage Gretch drum kit, Rick Schultz playing reeds and wind synth and Rick Ray playing guitar and singing backup vocals. Also Sam Guinta of Syzygy  made a guest appearance on a song.  The band has performed some of the material live in concert with great response. This is a pinnacle recording for The Rick Ray Band.  All five members of the band really worked hard for almost two years on this.
