Southern troubadour Boo Ray is back with a bang. The singer is gearing up to release his new album Tennessee Alabama Fireworks (out on Feb. 15). Today, Wide Open Country is premiering the album’s debut single “A Tune You Can Whistle,” a trucker anthem that doubles as a sociopolitical manifesto set to a honky tonk beat.
“One nation under the influence of a cell phone computer screen,” Ray sings on the dynamic track. “One nation under the influence of benzodiazepine.”
Ray said the song was inspired by the current cultural climate and the ongoing struggle to communicate with one another amidst a whirlwind of distractions, struggles and anxieties.
