Press
“Exception To The Rule is a young progressive band from Georgia consisting of the Ray siblings: Sara (guitar, mandolin, and vocals); Laura (banjo, guitar, and vocals); Jason (bass and vocals); and Kayla (fiddle, mandolin, and vocals.) Their latest project of 12 tunes blends original material with established pieces such as “House Of The Rising Sun,” “Orange Blossom Special,” and Steve Young’s “Seven Bridges Road.” The band’s sound has a contemporary edge on the original pieces “Sixty Years,” “Not Giving Up On Love,” and the instrumental “Derailed.” While some tracks feature the piano work of Mark Ray, it is tastefully utilized and manages to blend in with the overall direction of the album. Exception To The Rule is a group that bears close observation in its future endeavors. (Exception To The Rule, 2296 Dove Drake Rd., Royston, GA 30662, www.exceptiontotheruleband.com.)”
