The Deli Magazine Features Boo Ray’s New “Back Down to Georgia” Video

Playing with Andrew Leahey at 3rd & Lindsley on March 3rd is Boo Ray, whose outlaw sound and rough voice will have you smelling whiskey and swamp water psychosomatically. The artist’s new video for “Back Down To Georgia” — a track from his latest release Tennessee Alabama Fireworks — traces the journey of a woman delivering a recipe in parts to Ray to help him make Nashville’s famous Hot Chicken. The track has Boo Ray and his band’s signature sound of a tight group that’s thundered up and down the roads of the Bible Belt together over the years, their vocal cords becoming coated with smoke and their instruments loud enough to shake the Delta.

The Deli Magazine Writes Praises of Andrew Leahey’s “Airwaves”

As a musician, I hear plenty of songs where I curse the ground upon which I walk, for I’ve heard the kind of sound that I wish I could produce. Enter Andrew Leahey, whose tracks have caused me to spit more well-deserved expletives at the soil than I can count. Leahey’s new album Airwaves — which drops everywhere on 03.01 — channels the songwriter’s favorite artists such as Petty and Springsteen, whose music he cherished as a kid. The album comes as the result of a creative spurt done after a brain operation that almost cost Leahey his life. Thank the lucky stars for his survival, because Airwaves has tracks that channel the earworm classic rock sound that will get locked in your head.
