My Life, My Friends, My Music (2007) more music like this

by Sugar Ray & the Bluetones

Blues for a Rotten Afternoon (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Under One Roof (1997) more music like this

However, this particular release is different than expected. Listeners who hope to hear extended solos and riotous ensembles are sure to be disappointed with Under One Roof, for ...

by Sugar Ray & the Bluetones

by Sugar Ray Norcia

After fronting Roomful Of Blues for a half dozen years, Sugar Ray Norcia released this solo collection of tunes that range from bar-band favorites to material he claims he always wanted to record.
