Ken Holloway

b. 1965, Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. Holloway was a guaranteeing country singer employed in pubs and longing for a agreement with a significant label, but his profession was transformed when his wife, Connie, became a born-again Christian. He says, ‘I woke up one night time and Connie was praying for me personally. She thought I had been asleep but I possibly could hear her stating, “God, he’s my greatest friend. I really like him a lot, I don’t desire to visit heaven without him. You are doing what you want to do to obtain him preserved”.’ (this event is recorded in his music ‘We Don’t Wanna Go Alone’). Holloway went to church meetings and some months later on, after witnessing a battle at a honky tonk, he deposit the mike and walked from the golf club, resolving to never sing in a single again. Holloway researched theology and became an ordained minister. At exactly the same time, a fresh strand of spiritual music was developing that sounded like state-of-the-art nation. Paul Overstreet and Russ Taff led just how, but in the forefront of the brand new Christian Country video clips on CMT was Holloway. As enthusiastic as Alan Jackson and Ken Diffie, his tracks are filled with moral dilemmas, Religious sentiments as well as the joys of family members existence. The analogies are pressured – heaven sometimes appears as an unlimited honky-tonk party in ‘Hoedown’, and in another he claims that ‘the older rugged mix became us tree’ – greatest is definitely ‘Unplug the jukebox/I earned’t require it any longer/No more unhappy nights strolling the ground/I’ve found a fresh love that’s well worth looking forward to.’ The majority of Holloway’s concerts happen in churches and he hasn’t returned to honky tonks.
