We had a great time on the Podcast with Terry, Ray and Billy of the iconic group McBride & The Ride...When they first began releasing music in 1989, McBride & The Ride released three acclaimed albums Burnin’ Up The Road, Sacred Ground, and Hurry Sundown, with hit singles like "Love on the Loose, Heart on the Run," “Sacred Ground,” "Going Out of My Mind," and many more. In the spring of 2021, they announced they were reuniting and going back in the studio to record new music. Though the band has been on and off over the past 30 years, its members have thrived through their individual careers. Ray Herndon has been Lyle Lovett’s lead guitarist since 1985 and has had songs cut by Kenny Chesney, Aaron Tippin, Lee Greenwood, Linda Davis and more, he continues to operate his family’s historic club, Handlebar J, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Terry McBride has had quite a fruitful career, writing major hits for Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Easton Corbin, Cody Johnson and more. He toured with Brooks & Dunn through most of their biggest years playing bass and writing songs. Billy Thomas moved to Nashville from Los Angeles in 1987 and immediately started working with Vince Gill along with many other country stars including Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Steve Warner & Earl Scruggs. He’s been Gill’s drummer on the road and in the studio ever since, adding background vocals to his many hits, as well as joining him as a member of The Time Jumpers, one of Nashville’s favorite bands. The trio’s upcoming EP, Marlboros & Avon, produced by all three members, is set to release in 2023, their first offering of original music in nearly 30 years.

To say Steven is inspiring is an understatement. One of the biggest takeaways for me is Steven's attitude & how he has managed and dealt with a devastating diagnosis and the multiple afflictions that followed.We talk about how important it is to have the right medical team for "you" and the support of Family and Friends. Along with Steven's unrelenting determination, grit and dedication to fitness, his story and recovery is an example we all can learn from.Resources:@warrior2cancer@texasneurospinesurgeryShow Sponsors:LINK IN BIO USE CODE: “MODERNCOWBOY”@moderncowboypodcastwww.moderncowboy.global@nrsworldhttps://g-sight.com/@gsightdryfireShow Music:The Ropin Pen By: Trent WillmonMC Podcast Production & Editing: Tyler Hillenbrand@tyhbrand
