Michael Ray has shared the video for his latest single “Holy Water,” which is a vintage country storytelling tune about a pastor who preaches by day and sells moonshine by night.
“This song has always stood out for me. As a kid who was born into a family that just loved country music, I’ve always wanted this type of song,” he tells "Sounds Like Nashville" of the track written by HARDY, Ashley Gorley, Hunter Phelps, and Ben Johnson. “I grew up on the storytelling songs of Merle Haggard, Earl Thomas Conley, and Porter Wagoner. When you close your eyes and listen to these songs, you just see a movie.”
The video was shot in Michael’s hometown church, Cassia Baptist Church, in his hometown of Eustis, Florida and features his uncle, Lee Conn.
“It meant a lot to me to keep it authentic and bring it back full circle,” he shares. “To have a full-circle moment to bring us back to that congregation and see some light being shined on the church that helped grow me as a kid really was special.” Check out the video to the right.
