Some ministers deliver their message from a pulpit.  Others use books tracts or cable TV to carry God's word to the masses. Ken Holloway comes to the world with simpler tools.....a voice, a guitar, and a host of great country songs.  Once a star attraction in the country bars and honky tonks of his native Lafayette, Louisiana , Ken no longer sings about cheating hearts, false starts and long weekends.  Today Ken Holloway uses the country music he loves and grew up on to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Ken's 1994 self titled debut album racked up a trophy case of awards and hit songs.  But, more importantly, in a genre of music still in the process of defining itself, Ken Holloway emerged as a pace setter, establishing himself and Christian Country as powerful forces in the mix of modern-day country music.  From his self-titled debut to the award winning " He Who Made The Rain " release to the present " The Ordinary " it's clear that Ken Holloway is moving into crucial subject matter only hinted at in his previous work.

   " I want to call the country back to the ordinary, everyday values of family faith, and fidelity upon which it was built " says Ken.  " It's a call not just for the church, but for the whole world "

   While keeping in touch with the easier going sound of his earlier work, on The Ordinary Ken jacks up the energy level with both high-octane country rockers and tender heart-felt ballads.  The result is one of the hottest New Country albums of the year delivered by a man who has eaten, slept, and breathed country music his whole life.

   The albums title number is written on a foundation of devoutly Christian values, carrying a message that's relevant to an entire culture. " There are issues that demand to be addressed from a Christian perspective " says Ken.  " We've got to sing about keeping marriages together, and teach our kids to stay true to the Word and save their bodies for the person their going to marry.  I have a 2-1/2 year old baby, a 13 year old son and a 16 year old daughter, and believe me, there's nothing like having kids of your own -- especially teenagers -- to bring all these issues right to your own door.  She's made me realize that before The Ordinary, there was a whole area of life that I hadn't even tapped into.  The world has changed, and I've changed, and it shows in my music ".

   The strength of the family and traditional American values that are built on it, are central to Ken, both the man, and the musician.  " To have a wife who stands behind me and supports me in whatever I do, to pick me up when I'm discouraged, and keep me going, is the greatest gift God could have ever given me " says Ken.  " And my kids are just as supportive.  Who they are to me, and who I am as a husband and a father is written all over this album ".

   " I Never Will " Ken's favorite song on the album, was written for his wife Connie.  " My wife and I have been married for 20 years and we're more in love than we've ever been.  there were times when, if she wasn't the wife she is, she would have given up on me.  " I Never Will " is my assurance to her that because she never gave up on me, I'll always be there for her as well ".

   Ken Holloway has become a pace-setter and premiere artist and writer in Christian Country.  As The Ordinary carries Ken to an even higher level of both recognition and artistic growth, his focus and purpose has become even clearer than ever.  " I've found there's a real evangelistic power in just building relationships and friendships with people.  Our families and our world are falling apart and I want to remind them to get back to our everyday, ordinary values of family and faith.  And that's for everyone, not just church people.
