A Fire Somewhere
[[Release Detail]]Summer of ’67. Ray Stinnett, original guitarist in Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs (“Wooly Bully”), finds himself drawn to the scene in Haight Ashbury and spends the ‘Summer of Love’ at the Morning Star Ranch in Northern California. In keeping with the zeitgeist of the times, he tunes in and drops out. Fast forward to ‘71 and Ray is back in Memphis recording his masterpiece for A&M at the legendary Fame and Ardent Studios with assistance from Booker T. and co-mixer/ engineer Richard Rosebrough (Chris Bell, Big Star). A&M shelves the album, and now, 41 years later, the record is finally available for the first time. That’s the story and here’s where it ends up. Over 40 years in the making, A Fire Somewhere is an album oozing with swampy Southern charm. A perfect melding of Memphis soul and San Francisco psych, folk, and rock.[[Release Description]] A hippie-fied, soul-rock, folk-rock, psych-rock gem lost in the vaults for four decades, A Fire Somewhere by Ray
