Mondo Magneto
Mondo Magneto is the debut studio Rock album by Brian Ray, released on October 16, 2006 through his independent record label "Whooray Records". Background. After decades of performing, writing and recording with musical artists, Brian Ray, a guitarist/songwriter/singer/producer released his first solo album, Mondo Magneto. "People have always asked me when I was going to do my own thing," Ray said, "I guess I was just busy." Unlike other albums, Mondo Magneto was recorded on analog, then moved over to digital for further editing. When he asked the blues singer Etta James if she would  sing with him on the album her answer was simple - and immediate - "I'll do anything for Brian." Musicians on Mondo Magneto include Scott Shriner from Weezer, Davey Faragher from Elvis Costello's band, as well as Abe Laboriel, Jr., Wix Wickens and Rusty Anderson from Paul McCartney's band. The record release party was held at The Mint in Los Angeles, California on January 21, 2006. Track listing. 1. Good For Nothing - 3:21 (Brian Ray) 2. Vinyl - 3:35 (Brian Ray/Oliver Leiber) 3.
