Kellye's new release, And, They Call Us Cowboys (the Texas Music Project (grr8 Records), re-imagines the timeless and diverse music of the Lone Star State through the filter of Gray’s jazz sensibility.

"Kellye Gray is well past "reasonably talented" and is instead a dynamic vocalist that can deconstruct some classic tunes and literally make them her own if just for a brief moment of time. The vibe here is as ever changing as the Texas panhandle as we move from shuffle blues to gospel to boogaloo all with the flavor of the Lone Star State with just a splash of jazz flavoring to make this unique hybrid special." - Bop-N-Jazz
