Ruby Starr & Grey Ghost are a Southern Rock band who's singer, Ruby Starr sang back up vocals for Black Oak Arkansas. If you're into Southern Rock at all you should check out Ruby Starr & Grey Ghost. They are everything you would expect for an off shoot of Black Oak. Raucous, Funky, a Little Wild and a confidence on stage fit for a headliner. It's kind of like Jim Dandy helped Dale Krantz write the Rossington-Collins Band's songs instead of Gary Rossington and Allen Collins. I personally will be searching out their studio releases now.

  1. I never heard of this band. The Black Oak Arkansas connection got me interested to check them out and its a Millard recording to boot! Thanks JDP!

  2. Everybody, yes, I said everybody, needs at least once in his lifetime to have a serious listen to Ruby Starr's version of Maybe I'm Amazed. And then, after this, you can compare songs. There's only one song that rivals that version, and I assume, you will all agree, it's Janis Joplin's version of Summertime.
    Greetings and good night from Paris,
