Press Release Summary: Charley's official mid-life crisis album and contains twelve
new songs that lay baritone vocals and intelligent, introspective lyrics on a bed of
classical, national resonator, and electric guitars with elements of blues, rock and
pop.

Press Release Body: Austin, Texas, March 3, 2008 -- Charley Ramsay established
himself as a songwriter and performer playing and singing with the local band, "Hey
Zeus" for over ten years in Austin, Texas in the 90s. His band achieved radio play
and a loyal Austin following. Songs co-written by Charley and produced by Austin's
own John Croslin (The Reivers, Spoon) eventually made their way onto prime-time
television - ABC's "Cupid" and Warner Brother\'s "Veronica Mars". Today, Charley has
a career that pays more than it costs... and it does not involve traveling in a van
with musicians across the states. Charley is married now and travels in a van with
his six children across Austin.

Catalyst, produced by Joseph Victor and Andy Sharp, is Charley's official mid-life
crisis album and contains twelve new songs that lay baritone vocals and intelligent,
introspective lyrics on a bed of classical, national resonator, and electric guitars
with elements of blues, rock and pop.

The songs range from big-guitar rock anthems as found in "Monkey See Monkey Do"- a
satirical look at the YouTube Generation; "Ride", a compelling and personal look at
what a strange world we live in today; to the melancholy "Catalyst" which echoes a
father's care for the next generation.

Charley Ramsay's influences include Chris Whitley, The Wallflowers, and blues legend
John Hammond. Charley recorded at Gang Of Hair Studios, Andy Sharp\'s Studio, and in
his garage with crickets and his children in the background.

Ramsay has an engaging style and his voice is in between a roughshod whiskey soaked
bluesman and an American roots rocker. His charismatic middle of the road
intonations work well for him while expressing the lyrics built around a solid music
foundation that will find a large crossover appeal.
