The Wrays, alternatively referred to as The Wray Brothers Band, were a Texas-based American country music ensemble featuring members Bubba Wray, Scotty Wray, Jim Covert, Lin Phillips, and Joe Dale Cleghorn. Initially, they released multiple independent singles before securing a contract with Mercury Records during the 1980s, under which they issued three singles. Their most successful track, "You Lay a Lotta Love on Me," attained a position within the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1987. After the band dissolved, lead vocalist Bubba Wray embarked on a prosperous solo career using the stage name Collin Raye.
