Katy Hobgood Ray - I Dream of Water (2019)

I Dream of Water is a collection of original songs written by Louisiana natives Katy Hobgood Ray and Dave Ray. Inspired by events in coastal regions and cities along the great rivers of the USA, this album is both social commentary and personal reflection on how increasingly intense storms and rising waters are affecting daily life, futures, and dreams. Produced by Greg Spradlin and recorded at Fellowship Hall Sound in Little Rock, AR, and Marigny Studios in New Orleans, LA, the album incorporates elements from Delta blues, gospel, country, and jazz. Katy is known for her work in children's music. She also sings/writes original songs in the Americana / folk rock vein, as does her husband Dave. This is their first official release together.
