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.
