Michael Ray

Country music and drinking have always had an uncomfortably close relationship.

"Spirts and Demons" with Canadian country singer Meghan Patrick finds him trying to find salvation in an endless glass of bourbon.

"There is such thing as generational trauma," Ray says. "I did not realize that you carry that with you."

"I didn't show up after our wedding day, because by that point in time, there was a lot of stuff that she didn't show up for," Ray explains.

"For some reason, some powers that be didn't hear what me and 12 million other people heard," Ray shares.

Ray is opening up about his split from Carly Pearce, and how therapy and a move away from Nashville helped him heal.

Ray says that any resemblance between his ex-wife Carly Pearce and the actor he cast in his 'Get Her Back' video is a coincidence.

It's all about revenge in this new song and video from Michael Ray.

Ray calls the project, "Country for the rest of us."

There's plenty of new coming from Michael Ray, plus live shows.

What a lineup!

"Things have been one-sided for too long," Ray says.

All of last year's emotions caught up to him.

Ray explains how he hooked the multi-genre veteran for "Higher Education," the title track from his new EP.

They’d been together as a couple for more than two years.

The money will go to benefit Tennesseans who've been hit hard.
