Jimmy Ray is the eponymous debut and only album from British-pop artist, Jimmy Ray. He wrote or co-wrote every song on the album. It debuted at #112 on The Billboard 200, and also reached #2 on the Heatseekers Chart. It was released in March 10, 1998. Its only successful single, "Are You Jimmy Ray?" made the album a substantial success, while "Goin' to Vegas" and "I Got Rolled" disappointed in the U.S., but had success in his native U.K..

A music video for "Are You Jimmy Ray?" went into heavy rotation on music television. The video juxtaposed Ray's rockabilly image with a trailer park setting as stereotypical "rap video" women in sports jerseys and football shorts danced provocatively behind him.
