Nashville, TN (January 30, 2008) ----- Strong fan
support continues to build for Collin Raye, who remains one of Country
music’s best male vocalists. After receiving a million hits on his
MySpace.com page, Raye has now been ranked on the website’s Top Artists
section in the Indie column. Raye is listed at #14 and shares this honor
with such top-selling artists as Ryan Adams, Clint Black, and Little Big Town.
Raye’s music from his latest CD Selected Hits continues to remain
popular with his web fans but at the same time, Raye’s song, “Get
Up In Jesus Name” from the Time Life project, Songs 4 Worship: Country, received
over 44,000 plays in one week!
Raye remains busy on the road and recently returned from a successful
trip to Florida.
While in Orlando,
he performed at the Hard Rock Café to a sold-out standing-room only crowd and
appeared on Daily Buzz, the popular syndicated televised morning show that is
in 130+ markets. Raye performed his new single, “Quitters,”
and one of his legendary songs, “All I Can Be.” The show was
so impressed with Raye’s performances that they added a third song,
“Little Rock.”
Besides being one of the best vocalists in the business, Raye is an
electrifying stage performer who pours his heart and soul into every
song. Raye’s tunes have a social conscience and resonate with a
hopeful intensity that creates a personal connection between Raye and his
fans.
“In the beginning,
I wanted hits and all that,” Raye reflects. “But what drives me now
is what this music means to people. Songs have landed on me that made me
realize there’s more to this than I thought. It’s about
entertaining people one minute and inspiring them the next. That’s what
gets me on that tour bus every week. That’s what keeps me interested in
making records.”
Raye’s
latest CD, Selected
Hits, is the 13th album of his career and
features live performances of some of his mega-hits, ““Love
Me”, “I Think About You”, “In This Life”,
“Little Rock”, and “Not That Different.” The two
new songs on the project are “Soldier’s Prayer” and
“Quitters.” Raye has enjoyed an illustrious career with 15 #1
hits, 24 top-ten songs, 15
#1 videos, along with 5 ACM and 6 CMA nominations.
