Me and Mr. Ray is the second album by the American band Miracle Legion, released in 1989.[1] [2] It was recorded as a duo, with the pair hiring a drummer and bassist for the supporting tour.[3] The songs were constructed around acoustic guitars.[4]
The Washington Post wrote that "there are some lovely tunes here ... but sometimes the thing's just too priggishly ethereal for its own good."[5] The Chicago Tribune determined that, "without becoming maudlin or sentimental, [Mark] Mulcahy's fragile tenor invests the past with pathos, the mundane with joy." The Los Angeles Times opined that the band "plays soft-pedal sounds suited for introspective neo-folkies living on double espressos and tattered copies of Camus."[6]
Released on vinyl, CD, and cassette, the 10 song LP Me and Mr. Ray was issued under Rough Trade Records. The songs were composed by Mark Mulcahy and Ray Neal.
