Country Music Legend Gary Morris Gears Up To Share New Music With His Fans At The Grand Ole Opry

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- “Gary Morris is back.” – Chuck Dauphin, Billboard

“In this day of neon-lit, painfully loud and brazenly overproduced concerts, what pure bliss it was to watch country and Broadway superstar Gary Morris… just a man with a glorious voice, a couple of guitars and an utterly entranced audience.” Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News

“This is the enigma that is Gary Morris. He has a voice that carries him to the heights of vocal performance…He is one of those rare performers who can take his audience to that enlightened place where only great actors, singers, and dreamers go.” Caroll Lucas, Hill n’ Holler

Award-wining Country Music star Gary Morris will debut his first single and the title cut, “If You Were Mine”, off his latest CD Saturday, February 4th at 7 p.m. at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.  From a collection of newly written songs, Gary will roll out his new album by releasing a new song every month, available on iTunes and CD Baby, with the complete CD available at the close of 2012.
   
The sound on the album is pared down, with only Gary’s prominent voice and his guitar - a sound described as open and airy.  Of his album, Morris said it’s a personal and romantic one.  “It will resonate with my fans, no matter what stage of life or love they’re in.  There’s been a great deal of turmoil and emotion in the last year or so of my life, and that often gets me to bring out the old pen and paper. Not all love songs work, but I hope this works for somebody.”

After a self-imposed hiatus from music to focus on other ventures, Gary took to the road and studio, much to the delight of his fans. Amidst his 2011 tour, One Voice, One Night, One Guitar, Gary opened the CMA Music Festival singing the National Anthem before more than 65,000 at LP Field and performed at the annual festival.  Gary also toured New England and mid-America with Kenny Rogers; joined George Jones, Kris Kristofferson, and Rosanne Cash in a concert taped for a TV special honoring Johnny Cash airing in early 2012. He also in 2011 recorded and released his Faith and Freedom CD while making a limited run appearance in the Broadway bound musical “Soul Doctor.”  A giving man, Gary held Master Classes at colleges and universities while retaining an extensive production, songwriting, and coast-to- coast-touring schedule.
