Singled Out: Boo Ray “Gone Back Down to Georgia” Interviews Music Features by Brian Carroll - January 29, 20190 Who: Boo Ray From: the mountains of Western North Carolina Song: “Gone Back Down to Georgia” Latest Album: Tennessee Alabama Fireworks (due Feb 15) What About It: “I’ve been going to and leaving Georgia since I was a teenager. There’s an indigenous and regional sound of players and songwriters in Georgia and that music just got all the way to me; hit me right in the middle. I went down to Georgia to get off the damned mountain when I was a teenager; went out to California to get out of the south; got homesick for sweet tea and grits and now I’m in Nashville… So yeah, maybe this song’s kind of in the spirit of that particular Georgia singer-songwriter writing device of being the most vulnerable, wounded part of yourself, offering it up in sacrifice and in celebration for anyone to identify with.” Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Share on Pinterest Share Share on LinkedIn Share Share on Digg Share
