Country Star Applauds America’s Revival Of Faith And Pride
Craig Morgan has always been open about his beliefs, whether through his music, military service, or interactions with fans. The country music star has consistently expressed his faith and patriotism over the years. Following the release of his latest EP, American Soundtrack, Morgan has noticed a renewed sense of national pride, particularly among young people. He believes this resurgence has been absent in recent years and is now making a strong return despite what mainstream narratives may suggest.
His new EP, released on February 28, reflects his deeply held values of faith, family, and country. Morgan explained that the album’s title came naturally after realizing the songs embodied the essence of American life and culture. As someone who has long championed military service, he has devoted much of his career to supporting veterans, performing for troops overseas, and working with organizations that aid injured servicemen and first responders. His commitment to service even led him to re-enlist in the Army Reserve in 2023, making the announcement live on the Grand Ole Opry stage.
Morgan acknowledges that patriotism hasn’t always been as widely embraced, but he senses a shift in recent months. He believes that while national pride may have been subdued due to political and social issues, it has remained strong at its core. His faith has also played a crucial role in his life, particularly after the tragic loss of his son in 2016. Morgan has been vocal about how his beliefs sustained him through immense grief, and he continues to share his spiritual perspective despite potential criticism. He remains unfazed by any backlash, emphasizing that his faith is a personal conviction rather than something dictated by others.
One of the most personal tracks on American Soundtrack is “God’s Problems,” a song that resonated deeply with him despite not writing it himself. He found it emotionally challenging to record because it reflects his personal struggles and aspirations to live according to his faith. Beyond his music, Morgan has kept busy with a global tour and an upcoming stint alongside Blake Shelton on the Friends & Heroes Tour. While he enjoys performing at large venues, his favorite shows are intimate ones where he can connect with fans on a deeper level.
In addition to his music career, Morgan continues to balance his duties in the Army Reserve, recently earning a promotion to Warrant Officer 1. He sees his service as a manageable commitment and remains dedicated to honoring his country in any way he can. Looking ahead, he has no specific “dream project” but simply hopes to continue making a positive impact through his music and service. As American Soundtrack reaches audiences, Morgan hopes it inspires gratitude and reflection on the freedoms and opportunities available in the United States. Despite the challenges facing the country, he firmly believes that America remains the greatest nation in the world.
