Boo Ray titled his new album, releasing Feb. 15, Tennessee Alabama Fireworks, taking inspiration from a sign he saw regularly on I-24 in his frequent drives between Chattanooga and Nashville. But the title also does a fair job of describing the sound of the album as well, as influences from Nashville, Memphis, and Muscle Shoals come together for one big bang of a Southern rock masterclass.
Boo Ray has a lot on his mind on Tennessee Alabama Fireworks and the album’s lead single and first track “A Tune You Can Whistle” sets the stage for a his thoughts on how a plugged in world and an increasing dependence on medication to regulate the flow leads to personal disconnect.
