Ray attempts to "Get To You" via tour

Wednesday, August 23, 2017 – Michael Ray will launch his second headlining tour in October, the "Get To You Tour."

"Get To You" is the first single from Ray's forthcoming sophomore album. Ray will make 15 stops across the country, starting on Thursday, Oct. 5 at Tuscaloosa's Druid City Music Hall and wrapping on Dec. 9 in Warrendale, Pa. Devin Dawson will join him on select dates.

"I had such an amazing time on the 'Think A Little Less Tour' last year as it was really the first opportunity since we started this journey to really get out there and see what our fans wanted to hear and experience," Ray said "Since, I've been out opening for some incredible acts from Alabama and Sam Hunt to Darius Rucker; I treated every date we played as a chance to learn something - whether it was backstage training or standing side stage just taking it all in - having those experiences have all led to this tour, and I can't wait to share it with fans."

Dawson debuted with the single "All On Me" earlier this year. The Californian's forthcoming debut, "Dark Horse," was produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town, Brothers Osborne).

While it's definitely slicker than any classic country record (which nowadays means '80s/'90s), it is a good one. The theme of the day is pairs - those that match and those that don't. "Spirits and Demons," a duet with Meghan Patrick, is a standout. It's a powerful gospel about the whiskey that ain't workin' to heal the broken heart. ...
Michael Ray's sophomore album, "Amos," is a tribute to his late grandfather. He expresses his appreciation on the insert with a lengthy and heartfelt bio of their special relationship. Though not explicitly stated, Ray infers that he learned that he would be best served by staying in his own lane. In this case, holding down the front man role while leaving the songwriting duties to the likes of Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally and Luke Laird and Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three. ...
CD review - Michael Ray The big single from Michael Ray's self-titled album, "Kiss You in the Morning," is one of the most annoying songs of the summer. It's an unbridled lust lyric that describes one man's pursuit of a girl in a country song. Ray is better on the driving song, "Drivin' All Night," though.
