Ray Scott, Lance Miller split from Warner Nashville
Tuesday, January 8, 2008 – Ray Scott and Lance Miller are no longer on Warner Nashville. Scott and Miller both left Warner just before the Christmas holidays.
Scott released one album on Warner, "My Kind of Music," in 2005 and recorded a second, which was never released. The debut yielded a top 40 song with the title track. A second single from the debut, "Gone Either Way" also was released. Scott, a North Carolina native, had some success as a songwriter as "A Few Questions" by Clay Walker and "Pray For the Fish" by Randy Travis were recorded.
Miller recorded a disc, but that also was never released. He released a digital single "The Beach" along with "Studio 330 Sessions EP," a 4-song digital release, in 2007. Miller made his Grand Ole Opry debut in December.
"These things happen," said a Warner spokesperson.

Scott has a distinctive baritone and the drinking songs are at the top of the order with the autobiographical lead single "Livin' This Way," a melancholy tale of an addict aware of his failings and trying to dry out. "It's dark as hell and everything a record label probably want me to stay ...
On the title track, we learn of Ray Scott's love for country music, but after listening to his 14-track debut, it's clear to see how Waylon Jennings, David Allen Coe and Johnny Cash had an influence. "My Kind of Music" is a tongue-in-cheek tune about a man who's date can't appreciate country music. The North Carolina native namechecks his favorite country singers and legendary songs in a radio-friendly country song.
But Scott offers much more with an album that has a feel of blues, rock and even ...
