Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio

The first in a series of new Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation episodes rolls this coming Monday, April 11, at a special time: 9 pm ET (6 pm PT). And the message is clear: Ray Paul, record maker, is back.

Sixteen years after releasing his ace compilation CD, The Charles Beat, and 36 years after the album Go Time, from Ray Paul and RPM, made its way into the world, one of pop music’s biggest supporters is once again a recording artist: Ray Paul’s smashing album of new material, Whimsicality, is set to release on July 8 on the reactivated Permanent Press label.

July 8, the release date for Whimsicality, is three months away, but the celebration begins now: Ray talks to Alan Haber on a special edition of Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation this coming Monday night, April 11, at 9 pm ET (6 pm PT). But that’s not all…As of today, Pure Pop Radio is exclusively playing all 10 tracks from Whimsicality in rotation. We couldn’t be more excited.

During this show, Ray goes in-depth as he guides listeners through Whimsicality’s mix of originals and choice covers, such as the Grass Roots’ “Temptation Eyes.” He talks about the many well-known guests playing on the album, familiar names all–Emitt Rhodes, Klaatu’s Terry Draper, Walter Clevenger, the Grip Weeds’ Kurt Reil, and the Doughboys’ Gar Francis among them. Plus, you’ll hear three songs from the album.

Ray is going on the road to promote Whimsicality, playing a number of shows in Rochester, New York and two high-profile festivals: the upcoming Power Popaholic Fest in Brooklyn, New York, and this summer’s Los Angeles leg of International Pop Overthrow. Stay tuned to Ray’s page on Facebook for the latest news. And…

Don’t miss a fun hour with a man who has worn many hats in the world of pop music: label owner, promoter of artists to radio, and now, once again, artist in his own right. It’s Ray Paul on Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation this coming Monday at a special time: 9 pm ET (6 pm PT). A Whimsical time is guaranteed for all!
