The Red Clay Strays have revealed their eagerly anticipated new album, Grateful, will be arriving via HBYCO Records/RCA Records on June 5. Pre-order/pre-save here.
Grateful is heralded by the premiere of the album's electrifying opening track, "Demons In Your Choir."
A deeply personal spiritual rumination unlike anything in the Mobile, Alabama-based rock band's previous body of work, the track swiftly builds from a few stirring notes on the organ into a foot-stomping singalong, complete with wall-shaking guitar riffs and a backing gospel choir led by 3x Grammy Award-winning musician Shannon Sanders.
"It's a different sound," says The Red Clay Strays' lead singer and guitarist Brandon Coleman. "And this is a different-sounding album, genre-wise. It's a good way to start it."
Grateful marks the latest chapter in The Red Clay Strays' inspiring journey from their hometown of Mobile to packing arenas around the world.
The Red Clay Strays will celebrate Grateful with their biggest live schedule thus far.
After their top-billed appearance at Stagecoach last Friday, the band will continue on the road for much of what looks to be a truly momentous year, highlighted by a very special headline performance for the upcoming Season 52 of PBS' venerable "Austin City Limits" taping April 27 at Austin, Texas' ACL Live at the Moody Theater, as well as hugely anticipated headline shows.
