NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Celebrating their 35th Anniversary, ACM and CMA nominees McBride & The Ride are excited to release their new track “No More Cryin’” from their upcoming LIVE EP due out October 18. For the first time, the legendary ‘90s group that soared to the top of the charts with hits like “Love On The Loose, Heart On The Run,” “Sacred Ground,” and “Going Out of My Mind” is releasing live recordings of their hottest singles and most requested songs. Featuring all three original members—Terry McBride (vocals/bass), Ray Herndon (vocals/guitar), and Billy Thomas (vocals/drums)—the group makes it easier than ever to enjoy their live performances anytime you want. Premiered by Cowboys & Indians, “No More Cryin’” is available now!
“We got to do a lot of cool stuff back in the ‘90s and getting to be in the movie “8 Seconds” is still a highlight,” says McBride. “Being asked to write and record the first single for the soundtrack was also a big thrill and three decades later we still enjoy performing “No More Cryin’” each night at our shows.”
“Considering the ongoing popularity of the ‘90s cult rodeo film ‘8 Seconds,’ we realized back then our band had struck gold being a part and having our song as the lead-off single,” shares Billy Thomas. “We’d now love to take you back with a new, rockin’ LIVE recorded version of “No More Cryin’“ from that soundtrack on its 35th anniversary! Enjoy!”
“This song has always been really fun to play live, so when we recorded two of our shows this year at my venue in Scottsdale, Arizona called Handlebar J, “No More Cryin’” stood out as one that we had to include on our LIVE EP,” smiles Ray Herndon. “With the 30th anniversary of the iconic movie ‘8 Seconds,’ and McBride & The Ride playing a part in this movie’s legacy, we felt it’s the perfect time to re-introduce this song to our long-time fans, as well as new ones.”
McBride & The Ride recently released “Amarillo Sky” as the first track from their LIVE EP, which was premiered by Center Stage Magazine. They continue their ‘Cool To Be Country’ tour with several shows throughout the country including Chief’s on Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. They will also be traveling to Georgia and Texas while continuing to add dates to their schedule. Fans can expect to hear their biggest hits from the ‘90s as well as fan favorites from their first three albums, Amarillo Sky, and their comeback EP, Marlboros & Avon, which was released in 2023. On top of celebrating their 35th anniversary as a band, McBride & The Ride is also excited to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the blockbuster hit movie 8 Seconds, starring Luke Perry in which their single “No More Cryin’” was included on the soundtrack and the band also appeared in the film.

ABOUT MCBRIDE & THE RIDE
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 later this fall.
