Craig Morgan shared his first new music in more than three years with the release of “The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost”. The new tune, which Craig penned and produced, honors his late son, Jerry Greer, who passed away after a boating accident in July 2016 at the age of 19.
Morgan says the song came to him at 3:30 in the morning and he immediately got up to write it down so he wouldn’t forget. He worked out the melody in his head and four hours later the song was completely finished the way you hear it.
After Blake Shelton spearheaded a successful viral campaign to get the new tune to No. 1 on the all-genre iTunes Songs chart on Sept. 12, “The Father, My Son & the Holy Ghost” will be released to country radio as an official single on Oct. 7 with major-label support from Broken Bow Records, Craig’s label home for six years in the 2000s.
