Morgan was onstage at the Ryman Auditorium when something inside him clicked. In 2012, while touring with India Arie, they played a show in Nashville. “I remember when Rogers came to Jamaica and started singing “The Gambler,” he was shocked and said, wait, how do you guys know my songs?’”
“Kenny Rogers was a huge icon in Jamaica and nobody in Nashville knew that until I started telling that story,” he explains. He says people might be surprised to discover country music is a big deal in Jamaica.
He’s a longtime member of his family’s GRAMMY-winning reggae band, Morgan Heritage, but also grew up listening to country music. Morgan’s decision to live in Nashville is a story all its own. Reid is a Scottish singer/songwriter and producer who partnered with Morgan to write, record, and produce this album at Reid’s Soultrain Sound Studios in Nashville.
