🇫🇷 Biographie (Français)
Projet solo du guitariste et chanteur Dave “Snaker” Ray (ex-Koerner, Ray & Glover), Bamboo (1968, Elektra Records) mêle folk, blues, jazz et country, avec des arrangements psychédéliques subtils (tack piano, rocksichord, steel guitar Red Rhodes) . Entouré de session-men talentueux (Will Donicht, Daniel Hall, etc.), l’album propose une palette riche et variée, oscillant entre mélodies roots et atmosphères introspectives, souvent comparé à Butterfield Blues ou Neil Young. Malgré sa singularité, l’opus est resté discret et confidentiel à sa sortie.

🇺🇸 Biographie (English)
Dave “Snaker” Ray’s solo project, Bamboo (1968, Elektra), blends folk, blues, jazz, country, and subtle psychedelia. Featuring tack piano, rocksichord, dobro by Red Rhodes, and performances by Will Donicht and Daniel Lee Hall, the record shifts between heartfelt roots songwriting and introspective, genre-hopping soundscapes—drawing favorable comparisons to the Butterfield Blues Band and early Neil Young. Though remarkable, the album flew under the radar upon release.
