The Red Clay Strays - Moment of Truth (Official Lyric Video)

[@deannculver7969]

Not quite country or blues or rock. This band has their own sound.

[@MarkTLarry]

Red Dirt Americana is the phrase I use

[@gregdixon3936]

Exactly!

[@JacobMartin-w8k]

It's more country

[@Fromthesoledesigns]

All three

[@taro6944]

Love it! Happy to ride along! 😎

[@paullide8149]

The only reason that you haven’t heard them on the radio is because there’s not a station built for them. And that’s a shame

[@sayren6130]

i hear them on the radio all the time! they get played with decent frequency on country stations, especially the song Wanna Be Loved. actually how i found them in the first place!

[@mkershaw10000]

You boys are honoring god with your music and a singing straight to my soul. I’m going through some hard times right now and needed this. Thank you! Sunshine is also amazing. I really hope y’all go far! Will try to make it to your show in Charleston, SC.

[@JakeShankles]

They say they’ve been giving out Judas’ kiss. Gods work by no means.

[@thebass2798]

He is clearly talking about being convicted for his sins. Every sin we commit is a Judas’s kiss. Every sin we commit or even think about committing is a betrayal to Jesus Christ.

[@scottclifton6696]

💯

[@reanna5593]

This, and the gospel song you ended your set with, were life altering. People don't know a band's music until they witness them leaving their souls on stage. So grateful I was lucky enough to hear and see you live. Unbelievable and unforgettable. ❤

[@5583Brian]

Love this band

[@rhetoric09]

I saw them at the blue stone in Columbus. Fuck yeah

[@dillthepickle9353]

This is what I've been needing. Real soulful music and holy cow the composition is mesmerizing

[@paullide8149]

I am in my 60s and I am a music guru, I can tell you anything you want to know about the 50 on 20 2000s and then music got stupid with no talent people just Performances. red clay Got it

[@paullide8149]

Me too buddy

[@fishingwithbillysims1306]

Yes they do

[@jarrettbryant8898]

The music lost its soul long ago. But lucky for us here it is again all these years later 😌

[@selinaalcon911]

How am I barely finding this band! As an 80’s baby and a fan of just some good classic soul rock I am sad this band is not bigger!!! Felt every song in my bones. ❤

[@danaswart4099]

Went to Grand Ole Opry on 5/31/23 and never heard of these guys, totally blown away with Moment of Truth. Power, presentation, and beautiful music. Best act of the night and I will be looking to see them again for more than just a 3-song set. Thank you for blowing me away with your set, really impressive.

[@2sparrows7arrows]

Check out their western af set too!

[@lanceward7009]

A beautiful reflection on the fall of man. I for one cannot defeat all of these demons. Being raised in South Alabama myself, this is so refreshing to hear. I absolutely love this band!

[@grantfolger8793]

Indeed, YOU can't defeat the demons. Christ Who lives inside you can and will when you surrender your everything to His Lordship.

[@AllGlitterandDirt]

Update! I have now seen them 3 times in 3 states in 5 months... They are working on a second album! Wait until you hear what's coming next!!! 🌌🌟💕💜💕🌟🌌 They are amazing live! Went to see Elle King..and they stole the show! Catch these rising stars! You will be happy you did! 🌌🌟💕💜💕🌟🌌

[@deannculver7969]

Oh yes! I went to a music festival here in Mobile just to see these guys. Outstanding.

[@massenafc]

I saw them open for Elle as well, amazing. they blew me away. She was AWESOME as well. I found myself wanting more after their show though. they are killer live.

[@dennisengland138]

I also seen them open for Elle king in New Orleans!

[@lilred1099]

Just saw them with Elle King absolutely phenomenal band

[@chitamoo]

I'm a Indigenous man whole follows his ceremonial life passionately. Everything from elders sharing stories of infedelity and rawness really spoke to me. I've come to realize through that message and this song, to respect myself and my wife. With couples counseling and a strong belief in the Creator, tripled with soulful music like this really helps heal little John and what I observed growing up as the norm.

[@lindaabbey5728]

That's so beautiful !

[@atomic7520]

Why in the world are you guys not NUMER 1?????

[@jenniferrobinson2000]

One of my favorite songs by them my husband looks at me a little crazy in truck when singing and ask why don't you sing like that in church 😂I DO ‼️ 🔥❤️‼️❤️❤️‼️❤️My favorite Band ‼️❤

[@josephshomin7191]

Bout to start hearing everywhere this is your "red clay strays" great music glad my mom showed me you guys today

[@abbykraemer583]

my dad just sent me their way and i’ve never added a band to my music rotation so fast

[@sergiuspaulus3727]

Probably the best band I saw last year. You guys are awesome!

[@truthjusticetheamericanway3066]

The soul in their music hits me like a Midnight Frieght train with no destination but that lonesome whistle blowing echoing far in the distance that brings that familiar feeling we all know too well. Love the music, Hope to see you guys down here in M.O sometime.

[@kalebbaker3724]

These boys have listened to a lot of Pink Floyd, and then arguably made it even more beautiful

[@ModMattCouch]

A beautiful ode to Hotel California. Same chords, same feel. New country/blues infusion. Right on boys!

[@GistMeister96]

Proverbs 12

[@GistMeister96]

1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
 but whoever hates correction is stupid. 2 Good people obtain favor from the Lord,
 but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes. 3 No one can be established through wickedness,
 but the righteous cannot be uprooted. 4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown,
 but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. 5 The plans of the righteous are just,
 but the advice of the wicked is deceitful. 6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
 but the speech of the upright rescues them. 7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
 but the house of the righteous stands firm. 8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
 and one with a warped mind is despised. 9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
 than pretend to be somebody and have no food. 10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,
 but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel. 11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
 but those who chase fantasies have no sense. 12 The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
 but the root of the righteous endures. 13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk,
 and so the innocent escape trouble. 14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,
 and the work of their hands brings them reward. 15 The way of fools seems right to them,
 but the wise listen to advice. 16 Fools show their annoyance at once,
 but the prudent overlook an insult. 17 An honest witness tells the truth,
 but a false witness tells lies. 18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
 but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19 Truthful lips endure forever,
 but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. 20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
 but those who promote peace have joy. 21 No harm overtakes the righteous,
 but the wicked have their fill of trouble. 22 The Lord detests lying lips,
 but he delights in people who are trustworthy. 23 The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves,
 but a fool’s heart blurts out folly. 24 Diligent hands will rule,
 but laziness ends in forced labor. 25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,
 but a kind word cheers it up. 26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,
 but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 27 The lazy do not roast any game,
 but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. 28 In the way of righteousness there is life;
 along that path is immortality.

[@blueskylife5765]

Love this sound. Looking forward to the concert in Columbus Ohio soon!

[@davidkelly577]

Sounds like the the song was recorded using the recording equipment originally from the 3614 Jackson Highway studio in Muscle Shoals, AL. I recognize the "character" of the sound... crisp, precise, exactly replicating how the musicians intended song's to be heard, and carrying felt emotion. I became familiar with the equipment's distinct character back in the days when I helped Noel Webster rebuild the Jackson Highway studio ... in the early 2000's. I believe Noel took the recording equipment to his Huntsville, AL, studio when he sold the Muscle Shoals studio. So, it sounds like the song was recorded in Huntsville, AL. Am I mistaken? Either way the song brought tears to my eyes.

[@sethsprouse8131]

Whole album is dang good

[@chitamoo]

Damn straight!

[@bb6003]

The sound and vibes of your music is unbelievable !!! I just came across it and haven’t regretted one song I’ve hit play on 😭🫶🏽 perfect flow so unique! Wow I just found my new artist 😍

[@dwtwo533]

Great sound Great Voice So refreshing. The instrumental background excellent.. You’re all a breath of fresh air!!

[@kapraomhookrob9001]

I just discovered u guys

[@vikingqueen9]

That's the best 5 mins and 47 secs I've in a very long time.......love the lyrics, rhythm and vocals...Pure magic!

[@popup369]

Wow epic🎉 I am sharing with everyone i know. We will get more of you out there in wonderful land

[@crystalsmith6514]

But… ‘what do you have to saY about LiFe, the 1 who laid down & turNeD daRk to LIGHT!!??” best band I’ve heard in last 20 yrs & the cooLesT thing to me is… mosT don’t even realize they’re rocKin’ out to gospel music not the mainstream 💩 y’all listen to on KLove or whatever lol but ReAL authentic heartfeLt & soul stirrin’ questions & talkin to the good Lord about reaL life 🙊 ❤️these ol’ Bama boys 🤘🙌

[@counterculture_pirvu]

I hope fame and riches won't make you distance yourself from the Lord, brothers. A big reason why I love your guys' songs it is because they are filled (at least in a degree) with Christianity and Christ, even if from a not so good season. Which is good, kind David also poured his heart to the Lord, saying all kinds of things (but at least he was honest, not fake) to the Lord in his songs and now we have them in the Psalms. It is better to pour our hearts and sorrows to God rather than towards people or, worse, better than pumping/keeping them there and piling up frustration and anger/hate towards others and towards life. God bless you, brothers in Christ! ❤

[@carolinacastano7229]

Phenomenal band! 🔥🔥🔥

[@pinkcali7708]

Someone sent me this song a month ago. I've been thinking about it a lot the last week or so but couldn't remember the title or the band. Then Sunshine popped up on my KZbin fyp! It's 2am, and I can't stop listening to every single song!

[@lisadarley1615]

🥺 ALL I can think to say is THANK YOU for giving me/us some of the parts of my soul that I have been missing 🎶 😊🤙💜

[@GusMann-hn9vr]

This is the best song I’ve heard in my 14 years, keep making new songs for me to enjoy 💪

[@Ricksrock373]

Shit them boys is having the time of their lives. They are exactly what I needed

[@yaboyclapp2402]

Gives me Stevie ray Vaughan vibes

[@playyboyj]

Here before the blow up💯

[@jrhattenstein]

[@scottclifton6696]

This is a result of being on ones tru track.

[@amedford57]

You guys just picked up another fan. See you in Indy.👍

[@michaelwilson6935]

Why do I do all of the things I shouldn't do Why do I stumble when I'm somewhere close to you If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through I will face judgment in the moment of truth I been out in the valley I been running the roads I been biding my time, with the things in life, that you should never know And I know all this folly, is gonna catch up with me Cause I been numbing my wits, giving out Judas' kiss, in the blistering cold Why do I do all of the things I shouldn't do Why do I stumble when I'm somewhere close to you If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through I will face judgment in the moment of truth I have not been patient I have not been kind I been up serving my flesh, to those who deserve the best, but only tasted my crime If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through I will face judgment in the moment of truth Why do I do all of the things I shouldn't do Why do I stumble when I'm somewhere close to you If I can't be righteous, if I can't see temptation through I will face judgment in the moment of truth

[@queenfoursuited]

The riff after the intro reminds me of Knights of Cydonia by Muse

[@andersoncreekhomestead6378]

Me and my neighbors' new favorite song weather they like it or not... turn it up and rip the knop off

[@EllielovesHarrystyles]

Drew nix is my cousin! I’m so proud of u man /Brandi is my mom

[@fredakelly1049]

I discovered them on TikTok and had to see them live. They came to a town recently near me and I immediately bought tickets. Best ever live show I’ve been to in a long while! These guys are the deal!

[@shanecaddad]

Man, I am new to the sound but loving it. Great shit. Hope to see them soon venturing to the west coast.

[@forrestjones2010]

[@toolateone7173]

Wish I could do an album 💿 I have to feed my grown ass kids tho and their baby so I’ll never ever know what it’s like to have my songs recorded

[@kimberlee440]

You'll never do anything if you've already decided you can't.

[@davemowers7827]

It’s dang good. I’m getting some for my collection.

[@judilynnz.niedercorn5784]

The suspension/tension in this tune is just about as perfect as perfect can be. Lyrically painful and raw - excellent in every way!

[@cherylsmith7199]

No matter how many times I play this I STILL WANNA RUN THROUGH RED CLAY BAREFOOT 👍♥️

[@cherylsmith7199]

Rip Jacob! Just like we thought! You’re a Guardian Angel 👍♥️🙏👍♥️🙏

[@tweebthelerker3952]

This band is perfectly imperfect. Just great soulful music. So awesome and refreshing.

[@scottclifton6696]

All as soulful and heartfelt as could be played. Truly beautiful music

[@joanniemartineau8378]
