The Grays were a rock band made entirely of ringleaders: Jon Brion, Jason Falkner, Buddy Judge and Dan McCarroll, four singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists crammed into one short-lived outfit. With that many chefs, the wonder is that they made it to a record at all.
They made exactly one. Ro Sham Bo came out on Sony/Epic in 1994, and it is a glittering, harmony-stacked record, full of chiming guitars, sweet melodic detours and songs that sound lovingly carved rather than knocked out. "Very Best Years" is the pick of the bunch, wistful and bittersweet. The album slipped out of print, but it is still highly thought of, and the band was gone almost as soon as it arrived.
