Jay Ramsey and The Jay Ramsey Band

How Long .mp3 How Long .mp3
This outlaw uses bravado to deal with the loneliness, cold and dread as his trail leads toward it's inevitable end. Recorded at Bob Kelly Studio in Las Vegas, Nv.
Get Away .mp3 Get Away .mp3
He says, "I run from the truth and I run from the law." That pretty much says it all. Bob Kelly Studio Recording
Gunsmoke .mp3 Gunsmoke .mp3
An unwilling participant in a gunfight becomes a reluctant hero. The smell of gunsmoke punctuates the tragedies that are forced upon him. Recorded at Bob Kelly Studio in Las Vegas, Nv.
Dance Dance
A short little story about a young cowboy on the run. He is helped by a stranger, a girl who says she will someday take him dancing. He's afraid he'll bring danger to the girl so he can't stay for the dance.
Lord Let It Rain .mp3 Lord Let It Rain .mp3
With "hungry mouths to feed" a young man breaks into the store and is now being pursued by the law. He asks the Lord to send rain to wash away his tracks so that he may escape. Recorded at Bob Kelly Studio in Las Vegas, Nv.
Outlaw Love .mp3 Outlaw Love .mp3
Two bad guys and one bad girl flee the scene of their robberies. Sexual ambiguity rears it's head and mayhem ensues. Bob Kelly Studio Recording
Night Of the Outlaw .mp3 Night Of the Outlaw .mp3
This is another older song. Within the gunfighter theme, I introduce an oft repeated thread of mysticism.
Bonnie Lou .mp3 Bonnie Lou .mp3
A young cowboy goes into Dodge City for his first sexual encounter. Bonnie Lou pleases him but also introduces a bit of Satan into his life. This is the first and only time I used the word "whore" in a lyric. It was fun. Bob Kelly Studio Recording
The Blue Lady .mp3 The Blue Lady .mp3
This song is still a work in progress...my mystic side again. The protagonist saves the black and blue lady from her tormentor but the event eventually sends him to the gallows where he, and he alone, gets a final look at the Blue Lady.
The Rain .mp3 The Rain .mp3
This man was born in a storm and the "wind and the rain" ruled the rest of his life.
