The Connolly-Ramey Duo are proud to announce the release of their first online singles, Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and Jerry Jeff Walker's "Morning Song To Sally."  Chris Connolly's rich voice and textural acoustic guitar combine delicately with Chris Ramey's mournful-but-joyous pedal steel to deliver remarkable folk/country versions of these classic singer/songwriter tunes. Produced by Chris Ramey and Herban Insurgent Publishing, LLC, these tracks serve as a proper introduction to the Duo's intimate style of performance. Only a limited number of downloads are available, so collect yours now!  Sign up on the Chris Ramey Music mailing list or visit the Chris Ramey Music Store!

TOP SECRET PROJECT

Most recently Chris has been involved in studio session work on pedal steel for Paul Stenvig of Beyond Sound Studios in Lyons, CO. A few words from Mr. Stenvig on the project and Chris' contributions thus far:

"I would like to thank Mr. Ramey for his exceptional Pedal Steel Guitar work on a monumental SECRET project. We have been collaborating instrumental melodies for a National Musical Sit-Com that promises to expand the boundaries of Modern Country Music as we now know it.

Chris is the featured melody instrument on a 2 CD release that accompanies the Life Down on the Farm Musical shows. We are attempting to push the envelope of just how Rockin’ music can be produced and still fit tightly into the Country Music genre. Chris is utilizing a 7 guitar amp, 35 speaker “wall of Sound” Miked by an astounding array of top professional condenser mics for what we hope will set new standards of fidelity in record production.

On a personal note, I am a 25 year veteran of profession production and engineering. I find Chris a pleasure to work with and our ideas flow fluidly back and forth with none of the bothersome ego trips that sometimes accompany exceptional musicians, he is a wonderfully professional and pleasant person to create with. He is a major contributing factor in what will soon be a ground breaking TV/CD release.

Sincerely yours,
Paul Stenvig"
