VIDEO: Amy Ray Shares a Video for ‘A Mighty Thing’ (Feat. Sarah Jarosz)

Amy Ray announces the release of her tenth solo album, If It All Goes South, out September 16 on Amy’s own Daemon Records, and shares a peek into the album sessions with a DIY video for her upbeat song “A Mighty Thing” featuring Sarah Jarosz.The song, which captures the fervor of a tent revival meeting and features the propulsive banjo picking of Alison Brown, deals with how Jesus figures into the identity of gay Southerners raised surrounded by the Christian faith – “they taught me how to hate myself” Amy sings – but also explores the comfort offered by the “true gospel of love.
