After spending time on the road last year, it’s about time for new music from Michael Ray! His latest EP Dive Bars + Broken Hearts dropped June 23. “I took some time to really think about what I wanted,” Michael Ray said about the time he took putting in to Dive Bars + Broken Hearts. “When you strip it all back, think about what really matters to you, you cut away a whole lot of reasons that should never drive your music.”

Anyone who sees their ex anywhere around where they live definitely resonate with this one.
Never thought I’d hate this town
Never thought I’d think about gettin’ out
Never saw me feelin’ the way I do right now
Your goodbye painted every wall on Main Street
Back roads got paved with your memory
One step away from puttin’ that pedal down
Never thought I’d hate this town
Up next is “Get Her Back”. It tackles the trials he goes through to win back a former flame, trying hard not to play dirty. Meghan Patrick features on “Spirits And Demons”. Their voices blend together smooth as whiskey, singing about chasing away pain. Rounding out Dive Bars + Broken Hearts is “Workin’ On It”.
