  • He deserves much better than what he was given. There is nothing wrong with his music.

    Billy is one the most underrated country music artists. I love his music. But that is just my opinion.
  • Many I feel do not understand all that the Native Americans have ever been put through. Even today, they are starving and deeply impoverished. I wish more people would stand up for them. 
  • What a fabulous song! Billy Ray's vocals are spot on as always, but the instrumentals are off the charts! That acoustic guitar solo, and that smokin' mandolin, whew!! Loved the Chuck Berry lick!! 💜

    This song isn't simply about the suffering of the Cherokee. This is a poem describing the painful issue of intolerance and human displacement and humiliation. It is very applicable to our time period.
  • Too many broken promises Too many trail of tears Too many times you were left cold For oh so many years Too many times you walked away And was made to feel ashamed And though you only tried to give You were often blamed How can this world be so dark So unfair and so untrue How did the cards of life Fold right on top of you God in heaven, hear my prayer If you are still above Send the children hopes and dreams And lots and lots of love For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears

  • This song means alot to me personally. I am Choctaw and Cherokee. Billy Ray has a really good voice and wish he'd sing more. YaKoKe, Billy Ray
  • it's a song that awakens the hearts and souls of the inhabitants of this region, I love it

    If this wasn't a Billy Ray Singing/Recording it would have been a big crossover hit. Imagine if Merle Haggard had recorded it or even Johnny Cash. Not right but thats the way it is. Mandolin player is beyond excellent!

    Great Song Billy! I have a female Cherokee Ancestor that was force marched on the Trail of Tears. So I can relate! Thanks 😊 Billy!
