Tony Glover Discusses Legacy Set And Memories of Dave Ray

St. Paul-based Red House Records released “Legacy,” a 3 CD retrospective on Minnesota blues guitarist Dave Ray, that was released in late October 2014. The music for “Legacy” was pulled from rare, unreleased performance tapes and out-of-print studio recordings, which were expertly compiled by Ray’s musical partner for 40-plus years, Tony Glover. 

Glover played harmonica with Dave Ray in the legendary trio Koerner, Ray and Glover, and in a variety of side projects, until Ray’s death on Thanksgiving Day, 2002.

In November 2014 Tony Glover joined John Drake via telephone to talk about the “Legacy” CD. Glover puts the Koerner, Ray and Glover story in perspective and remembers Ray’s dedication to playing guitar and the blues, while sprinkling in a dash of the sardonic humor which Dave Ray was known for.

Tony Glover’s memories shine light on one of the important Minnesota music groups, while illuminating the talent of the late Dave Ray.
