█ On Easy Gone, Bonneville delivers 10 reasons why longevity pays off. On █
█ each song, his taut guitarwork shimmers like the scales on coiled █
█ rattler, menacing and confident. His voice carries the rich, natural █
█ timbre of time and his harmonica rhythms add an extra dollop of grit to █
█ his streetwise sound. Produced by Bonneville and Justin Douglas, Easy █
█ Gone wears the faded workclothes of a man who knew when he "said I do to █
█ a highway," as he sings in "Who Do Call the Shots," that it wasn't going █
█ to be an easy marriage. But he also knew divorce was not an option, and █
█ affirms his vows in soulful lyrics that balance thoughtful observation, █
█ impassioned emotion and the restless soul of a wanderer. █
█ █
█ Songs like "When I Get to New York," "Mile Marker 41" and "Love is █
█ Wicked" percolate with hints of something sinister and sexy. In the █
█ bluesy "Wicked," you can almost hear the finger-poppers lurking in the █
█ club's corners the ones who might get a little wicked themselves later █
█ on. Even the album's lone cover, of Hank Williams' classic, "I'm So █
█ Lonesome I Could Cry," carries a groove and momentum that's Bonneville's █
█ alone. It's haunting, like many of his songs. He populates a lot of them █
█ with society's fringes: the desperate and dangerous, damaged and █
█ vulnerable. With a style that draws comparisons to such artists as JJ █
█ Cale and Daniel Lanois, this blues-influenced, New Orleans-inspired █
█ "song and groove man," as he's been so aptly described, luckily found █
█ his rightful calling. Easy Gone is a tour de force that confirms that █
█ Ray is an artist whose time has definitely come. █
