[edit] Summary
McBride & The Ride (also known as "Terry McBride & The Ride") is a country music trio. The group was created in 1989 when Terry Brown, executive vice president of MCA Nashville, introduced songwriter Terry McBride to two session players, Billy Thomas and Ray Herndon. All three seemed to click right away; in addition, they harmonized well. Throughout the early 1990s, the group landed several chart singles, including four Top 5 hits. The success of their debut album saw the group opening shows for The Judds. Although the group never topped the Billboard country charts, their song "Sacred Ground" did reach #1 on Radio & Records' country singles chart.
In early 1994, Ray Herndon and Billy Thomas left the group, and were replaced by Keith Edwards, Kenny Vaughn, and Randy Frazier. It was at this point that the group was re-named "Terry McBride & The Ride"; they would release one album under that name before disbanding.
By 2000, the group re-united after a show, when lead singer Terry McBride suggested that they go back to the studio. They then recorded some demos and shopped around, eventually landing a deal with Dualtone Records in 2002. The album "Amarillo Sky" reverted the group's name to "McBride & The Ride" as it had been previously. Although the 2002 album produced only one single, the title track (which was co-penned by Big & Rich's Big Kenny and John Rich) has since become a hit for Jason Aldean.
[edit] Other notes
- The single "No More Cryin'" was featured in the movie 8 Seconds.
- Terry McBride has written several singles for other artists, including "If You See Him/If You See Her" for Brooks & Dunn with Reba McEntire. Similarly, Ray Herndon penned "Me And You", which was a hit for Kenny Chesney. [1]
- The group's biggest hit, "Sacred Ground", was co-written by Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn. Kix originally recorded the song himself on a solo album before the formation of Brooks & Dunn.
- In early 2006, Ray Herndon released a duet with Clint Black called "Grain of Salt"; however, the song did not crack the country charts.
