About Collin Raye tickets

Country crooner Collin Raye has built a successful ongoing career with his signature singing style of clear, precise vocal delivery and tearful, heartfelt ballads that speak of Americana and often promote meaningful messages for anti-violence and anti-substance abuse and others. Born Floyd Collin Wray in 1959 in DeQueen, Arkansas, the son of a local musician mother, Lois Wray, Collin Raye, going then by the name Bubba Raye, formed a country-rock band with his brother called the Wray Brothers Band. By the late 1980s, with a family and his music career limping, he took on the name Collin Raye and singed with Epic Records and had his first success with 'All I Can Be (Is a Sweet Memory,' followed by his debut album of the same name. His follow-up single, 'Love Me,' climbed to Number One on country charts, and has gone on to become one of the most popular songs performed at funerals. Raye's second album, In This Life, released in 1992, scored even bigger, fueled by the title track, and Collin Raye was an established country star. His third album, Extremes, released the following year, continued his success and introduced Raye's trend of singing socially conscious songs, with the single 'Little Rock,' for example, a story about a recovering alcoholic. The album produced several hit singles, including the Number One 'My Kind of Girl.' The succession of hit singles continued with Raye's albums I Think About You and The Walls Came Down in 1998, and he has carried on his strong career to the present day.
