Heartland

Due to his decreasing state of physical & mental health James Ray has decided to retire from the music business. His contributions to 'The Performance', 'Gangwar', 'The MKULTRA', 'The Otherfolk', '4080peru' & '25men' will be remembered for what remains.
He intends to spend what is left of his life with his family and friends enjoying the things he loves.
We hope that that his input has been a worthy and inspiring aspect in the Grand Scheme of Things.

I TEGO ARCANA DEI

Sad news, I'm sure we all wish him well

One of my favourites

What can I say? For what it's worth, rock 'n' roll has been enriched by Mr Ray's contributions.

Paint it cobalt blue!

As far as I'm concerned, James Ray's work, from his involvement with The Sisterhood project up to and including 25Men, have indeed fulfilled all my criteria for being worthy and inspiring.

Sad news indeed, take care Mr. Ray, and thank you.

All the best RAY

Sad to hear, yet glad for all your musical (ad)ventures up till now!

IZ.

All the best, Sire!

I hope there'll be a lot yet to be enjoyed by you down the road from here.

That does not sound good...

Best wishes, Mr Ray, and thanks for the tunes!

I appreciate every work James Ray has worked on, his tunes are played here frequent so I don't need to say this is sad news for me.
yet I understand the choices people have to make in life and I can only wish him all the best with what is comming.

and Eric, if you are out there, life has a lot to offer so try to experience it the way you see fit! but I have a feeling we will hear from you again.
take care.

Take care...

This has taken a good few rewrites. I know a year or so back, I would be quite shocked at this. However, now, it (sadly) comes as little surprise to me.

Despite things which may have been said in the past... as a musician, he made some fairly good songs, many of which inspired me musically, and for that I will wish him well for the future.

I can thank him for his permitting me to cover a song I liked, to "do what like with any of [his] songs", his kind words about my last album, his giving me the master of Third Generation, and I hope that if our paths cross again, there will be no bad words to be spoken.

I hope your health improves, Eric, and despite personal issues, it was a pleasure, and hopefully will be so again.
I hope 25men will continue in their own path.
I hope eventually things will work out.

Very sad.

good luck JR.

Take care and all the best, Sir.

A string of great records, many of which have found a way into my collection.

I'm glad I got the chance to see you in concert - I was front row during the fantastic 25men gig with the MV at the Leeds met.

Take care, and best wishes.
