MUSIC - Recommended listening: no jazz today, no quirky rock, no rooty blues, rather something smooth and very well done: ex-Genesis singer Ray Wilson does the Carpet Crawlers live in 2009. I think Ray's as good a singer as the great Peter (not to mention Phil) so please buy Ray Wilson's music!Wait, Ray is a Scotsman and he likes his whisky, why not quickly interview him via our good friend Helmut Janisch while we're at it?
QUICK WHISKY AND MUSIC INTERVIEW (with Helmut Janisch's help)
RAY WILSONRay Wilson was born in Dumfries so no wonder he’s got a sweet spot for good Scotch. After a number one hit in the UK with the band Stiltskin (Inside), he Became Genesis’ lead singer in 1996 after Phil Collins had left the band. Their album ‘… Calling All Stations…’ went into the top 10 worldwide. Ray left Genesis in 1998 and started to work on various projects and albums, whether in solo or with Stiltskin or Scorpions. His latest venture with the Berlin Symphony Ensemble is called Genesis Klassik and is truly excellent (just listen to his CD ‘Ray Wilson and the Berlin Symphony Ensemble live in Berlin’ !)
WF: Ray, tell us briefly about what you do, music-wise...Ray: I am a singer songwriter.WF: Which other musicians are you or have you been playing with?Ray: Genesis, Stiltskin, The Scorpions, Armin Van Buuren, Turntable rocker etcWF: Which are your other favourite artistes?Ray: David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne.WF: Which are your current projects?Ray: Touring with Genesis klassik and recording a new Stiltskin CD for next year.WF: When did you start enjoying whisk(e)y? Are there any musical memories you particularly associate with that moment?Ray: I’m a Scot, so we had whisky for breakfast. I have written many songs with a few large ones inside me.WF: What’s your most memorable whisky?Ray: Glenfarclas with Sherry Influence, as they say. Brilliant whisky.WF: Do you have one, or several favourite whiskies?Ray: I like the Speyside Malts!WF: Are there whiskies you don’t like?Ray: Laphroaig. A very acquired taste.WF: Music and whisky are often though of as being male preserves. Should girls play guitars, should girls drink whisky?Ray: Girls and Guitars is a perfect combination. Unfortunately Whisky makes you look very old, very quickly, so not for girls.WF: In some ways you could argue that tasting a whisky is similar to listening to a piece of music – you deconstruct the two in the same way? Care to comment?
Ray: Not sure if I agree. When I think of Whisky, it makes me think of a cold winters night in Scotland. Maybe Scottish folk music is good with Whisky? Or Irish.WF: If your favourite whisky was a piece of music what would it be, if it was a musical instrument what would it be?Ray: A very old and scratched violin.WF: Do you have a favourite piece of music to drink whisky with, or better still, desert island dram, desert island disc?Ray: Something melancholy. Tom Waits perhaps.WF: Everyone thinks of Jack Daniels as being the great rock and roll whisky – why not Scotch?Ray: I really don’t like Jack Daniels. It’s not a proper whisky, in my book.WF: And if it was Scotch, can you think of which brand? What would be the Scotch equivalent of rappers drinking Cristal?Ray: Something cheap and hard. A Famous Grouse Perhaps?Thank you Ray, and thank you Helmut!http://www.raywilson.net/ -
