A CountryMusic singer known for his impassioned tenor voice and often-topical songs about societal issues.
Floyd Elliot Wray began his musical career in TheEighties as Bubba Wray, bassist for a short-lived band called The Wrays. After they broke up, he went solo and signed to Creator/EpicRecords in 1990, where he broke through with the tender ballad "Love, Me". Followup album ''In This Life'' also sent him to the top of the charts with its title track, but it was 1994's ''Extremes'' that established him as a 90s country star, thanks to strong and meaningful songs such as "Little Rock", the story of a recovering alcoholic.
Raye spent the rest of TheNineties racking up hits, with a total of 21 Top 10 hits ranging from 1991 to 2000. Although his momentum tapered off entirely after 2000, he has continued to tour and record independently to this day.

* CommonMeter: The verses to "Every Second" are common meter double.
* DualMeaningChorus:
** "Love, Me". The chorus's line of "If you get there before I do" is literal in the first verse, but metaphorically refers to Heaven in the second.
** "One Boy, One Girl". The title initially refers to the childhood romance between the two, but the last verse refers to the twins they have after becoming married.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His first two albums were much more slick and dated-sounding, with very few memorable songs besides "Love, Me".
* ImplausibleDeniability: In "That's My Story", the singer sticks to his story of spending the night in his hammock, even in the face of his wife pointing out that she took it down a week earlier, then breaks down and apologizes... for having spent the night playing poker with his friends, with no women around, nuh-uh.
* IssueDrift: From ''Extremes'' onward, he began cutting more challenging and topical material.

* OdeToSobriety: In "Little Rock", the narrator is a recovering alcoholic who still feels emotional over how his alcoholism has wrecked his marriage ("I got just one small problem here in Little Rock / Without you, baby, I'm not me").
* OldManConversationSong: "Love, Me" involves a conversation between the narrator and his grandfather.
