Ray Kennedy (born May 13, 1954)[1] is an American country music artist. He has recorded two albums for Atlantic Records. His two albums produced four singles that appeared on the Hot Country Songs charts; 1990's "What a Way to Go" was his only top 40 country hit and peaked at No. 10.

Born in Buffalo, New York, Kennedy won a Grammy Award in 2005 in the Best Contemporary Folk Album category for producing Steve Earle's album The Revolution Starts Now. He has produced many recordings with Earle which are collectively known as The Twangtrust.[2]

His father, Ray Kennedy, Sr., was a credit manager for Sears, and was a subsequent creator of the Discover Card, which was launched in 1985.[1] Ray Jr. is married to Siobhan Maher Kennedy.[3]
