The Cult of Ray is the third Frank Black solo album. The title refers to Ray Bradbury. The core musicians employed on this album would eventually be dubbed The Catholics, and would continue as Black's backing group for the following seven years (albeit with a changed line up). The album's final song is a tribute to Shazeb Andleeb, who was beaten to death at Narbonne High School in Harbor City, California in 1995.
