Premiered by M Music & Musicians Magazine, "Going Out Of My Mind" is available now!
“To me, this song is timeless, as soon as the crowd hears the first few notes of the intro they cheer,” shares Ray Herndon. “It’s so cool for us to still get that reaction 30 years later and is why we’ve included it on our new LIVE EP.”
“I feel this song epitomizes our band statement, showcasing all of our combined talents on stage to deliver a true 90's country band sound that is unmistakable,” adds Billy Thomas.

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. 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 (Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Steve Wariner & 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 renowned Nashville super-group, The Time Jumpers.
In 2002, the band released their fifth studio album, ‘Amarillo Sky,’ which continues to be a fan favorite at every show. The trio’s previous EP, Marlboros & Avon, produced by all three members, was released in 2023, and their new LIVE EP will be coming out October 25. For more information, visit mcbrideandtheride.com.
