Frank Ray signed a record deal recently with Broken Bow Records Music Group and Stoney Creek. His debut single is a sultry and groovy country song called, "Country'd Look Good on You," which is already in the Mediabase top 40 and one of the fastest-rising debut singles in the last few years at country radio.
