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.
