EP: 397 - McBride and the Ride are BACK! They're on Sacred Ground and Burning Up the Road with Amarillo Sky!

The Dr. Ward Bond Show

After 35 years, McBride & the Ride is still one of the most beloved country music groups.

Their first three albums — Burnin' Up the Road, the gold-certified Sacred Ground, and Hurry Sundown, released in 1991, 1992, and 1993 are still full of timeless country music.

These albums also produced several hits on the Billboard country charts, including the Top 5 hits

Sacred Ground, Going Out of My Mind, Just One Night, and Love on the Loose, Heart on the Run.

Terry McBride has had quite a fruitful career, writing major hits for Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Cody Johnson and others. He toured with Brooks & Dunn through most of their biggest years playing bass and writing songs.

Ray Herndon has been Lyle Lovett’s lead guitarist since 1985 and has had songs cut by Kenny Chesney, Lee Greenwood, Linda Davis and more.

Billy Thomas moved to Nashville from Los Angeles in 1987 and immediately started working with Vince Gill along with many other country stars (Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Steve Wariner & Earl Scruggs). He’s been Vince’s drummer on the road and in the studio ever since, adding background vocals to his many hits.

But I’m very excited and I’m trying to keep from Going Out of My Mind, so let’s welcome the smoothest harmonies in country and celebrating their 35th anniversary, the one and the only McBride and the Ride to the show!
