James Ray
Member of Andrew Eldritch's side-project The Sisterhood. Having written and produced the music for Gift and Giving Ground,
Andrew Eldritch was not able to sing officially in the band, since his record company Warner still held him under contract.
It was commonly believed that - due to this fact - James Ray sang/spoke all the lyrics.
An interview by Heartland Forum Members with James Ray on these and other issues can be found under

James Ray - together with Carl Harrison - formed James Ray And The Performance.
Their single Mexico Sundown Blues was released on Merciful Release in July 1986,
shortly after The Sisterhood's Giving Ground and Gift.
