Marty Raybon has crossed many genres of music in his 40 year career as evidenced by him recently winning 4 CGM (Christian Gospel Music) Fan Awards presented by Christian Voice Magazine.  Marty was honored with CGM Awards for Favorite Song, Male Vocalist, Musician & Crossover Artist at the April 27th ceremony.

THE BACK FORTY features the new single “That Janie Baker" and comes on the heels of Marty’s two previous releases on Rural Rhythm including SOUTHERN ROOTS & BRANCHES, which contains the bluegrass hit single, “Dirt Road Heartache”.  Raybon's country gospel album, HAND TO THE PLOW (Rural Rhythm Christian), had two chart topping songs, “I’ve Seen What He Can Do” and “I’m Working on A Building”, featuring vocals by Jimmy Fortune, T.
