45 South is the 2005 debut album from Texas singer-songwriter Ray O'Hara. It features collaborations from such artists as Jimmy LaFave, Trish Murphy, Rachel Loy, Michael Ramos, Rick McRae, Larry Wilson, Mike Hardwick, Louis Meyers, Stewart Cochran, Pat Cordell, Chris Maresh, Wil Landin, Wally Doggett and Rich White.

It is perhaps difficult to pin a precise genre on the album as a whole, but most of the tracks incorporate elements of folk, rock, pop, bluegrass and country music. As a blanket term, the genre of 'Americana' could be used. O'Hara sings lead vocals and plays the rhythm guitar and harmonica on the album. He also wrote or co-wrote every song.
