Dave "Snaker" Ray

Dave RayDave "Snaker" Ray got his big break in the '60s, when his frequent partners "Spider" John Koerner and Tony Glover formed the trio of Koerner, Ray & Glover. They were an important part of the folk music revival of the time. . . . . During the '70s and '80s, the trio only reunited occasionally, mostly at special shows and benefits. Ray and Glover maintained their partnership by performing together once a week for years, and the whole band finally reunited for an album in 1996, One Foot in the Grave. Ray continued to release solo albums through Tim/Kerr Records and perform regularly in the Minneapolis area. (AllMusic) Interesting     File Under: Folk Blues Pioneers
