The Cult of Ray
The Cult of Ray is the third solo studio album by American musician Frank Black. Unlike his previous two albums, which had been produced by former Pere Ubu keyboardist Eric Drew Feldman, Black opted to produce The Cult of Ray himself.
The album title is a reference to author Ray Bradbury. The album's final song is a tribute to Shazeb Andleeb, who was beaten to death at Narbonne High School in Harbor City, California, in May 1995.Chart performance
The Cult of Ray peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and number 127 on the Billboard 200 in 1996.Track listing
