Saving Country Music’s 2020 Song of the Year Nominees

Below is an excerpt of “Saving Country Music’s 2020 Song of the Year Nominees” featuring Joshua Ray Walker’s “Voices”: 

“Joshua Ray Walker – “Voices”

Dallas native Joshua Ray Walker wastes no time going to work on your emotional receptors on his new record Glad You Made It, starting it off with this tale of a man making the choice to roll his truck into the lake instead of struggling to keep on living, polishing off a bottle as he does to “make it look like a mistake.” This is the kind of mercilessness Joshua Ray Walker shows to jerk those tears out like only the finest country music can.

Not just a songwriting tour de force, Joshua Ray Walker’s yodel and high range are another highlight of “Voices,” with the song’s rather impressive and elongated note at the 2/3rds interval drawing out the emotion of the story like only a top notch singer can.”
