Oct. 22, 2008 — Craig Morgan released a new album, That’s Why, on Tuesday, and he’s told reporters the CD is "more me" than anything he’s recorded before.
Much of the album is about small-town life and relationships, and while some of the themes and lyrics represent him, Craig notes that it’s the musical elements that are giving more of a clue to him as a person and an artist.
"Although I said this is probably ‘more me’ in this record than anything else, a lot of the ‘me’ that I’m referring to in this record is the vocalizations, the singing process, the musical interpretations — that’s the me I’m referring to," Craig told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "Again, there are a few songs on here that are extremely autobiographical, but there are other songs on here that aren’t exactly about me, but I liked the way that I could sing them, they were fun to sing, and there was also material within the song that I could relate to."
The album’s first single, "Love Remembers," reached No. 15 on the Country Aircheck chart this week, and Craig will perform it Friday on ABC-TV’s "Good Morning, America."
Meanwhile, he’s very visible on GAC. The special Craig Morgan: Back To Bragg airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET and at midnight, Thursday at 7 p.m. ET and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET. That last appearance comes after he’s officially inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on Opry Live, airing at 9 p.m. ET.
