Inspired by actual events, the song tells a haunting story of temptation, consequences, and the lasting impact of choices. Hughes says the song was born from a deeply personal experience involving the suspicious death of a family member, a loss that has lingered in the hearts and minds of her family for years.

"This song is a story inspired by actual events," Hughes explains. "I had a family member who is no longer with us, and I always felt his death was very suspicious. It has eaten away at my family and me for years. This song is a testament to the fact that he will never be forgotten. Sometimes temptation presents itself as innocent and harmless but can lead to the end of someone's life or all they hold dear. Mistakes happen. The grass is truly never greener on the other side. It's a cautionary tale for all."

Written in Hughes' signature storytelling style, "The Grass Ain't Greener" delivers a powerful message wrapped in heartfelt Bluegrass instrumentation and emotional authenticity. The song serves as a reminder that the allure of something seemingly better can often come at a devastating cost.

With a chorus that exalts Jesus as the Maker and King of all that is right, the song is a natural fit for worship settings and gospel playlists alike.

“The song’s overall feel comes across really strong — heartfelt, faith-centered, emotional, and very much in the wheelhouse of classic Christian Country storytelling. It has that timeless family-harmony sound that feels both traditional and fresh, which fits the Fortner Brothers perfectly.”
— Charles Brady, Radio Music Group

The Fortner Brothers’ newest release, “Without You I Haven’t Got a Prayer,” is a powerful reminder of just how dependent we are on God’s grace and guidance each and every day. Featuring the family’s signature harmonies, heartfelt delivery, and strong musical roots, the song blends classic Christian Country emotion with a fresh young energy that continues to connect with audiences across generations.

Whether introducing the song to a brand-new audience or bringing back cherished memories for longtime Midsouth fans, the response has been overwhelming everywhere they perform it.

With the blessing of original writer Robby McGee and the members of Midsouth, the Fortner Brothers have now brought new life to this timeless message of faith, surrender, and dependence on Christ. “Without You I Haven’t Got a Prayer” is more than a remake — it’s a heartfelt testimony delivered by one of Christian Country music’s fastest-rising young groups.

NASHVILLE, TN (May 12, 2026) - Inspirational Christian artist Linda Boles has released her moving new single “One At A Time” to Christian radio. Blending heartfelt storytelling with a gentle Inspirational and Christian Soft AC sound, the song delivers a powerful message about the value of every human life through the lens of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

Produced by Allen Bays and Shed Studios, “One At A Time” was inspired by the heartbreaking tragedies often seen in the news, where large numbers of lives lost can sometimes become reduced to statistics and headlines. For Linda Boles, those moments sparked a deeper reflection about how each person is uniquely known and loved by God. That realization became the foundation for the song’s emotional centerpiece: “One lonely man upon a cross, He died for them He died for us, He died one at a time.”

Born into a family rooted deeply in bluegrass traditions, Linda Boles has spent a lifetime surrounded by music, ministry, and faith. Her journey through personal loss and spiritual renewal has shaped her songwriting into a source of encouragement for listeners searching for hope and healing. Following the sudden loss of her first husband, Linda found herself writing songs that reflected God’s comfort and faithfulness through life’s darkest moments. More than four decades later, her mission remains centered on touching hearts rather than chasing accolades.

“One At A Time” continues that calling with lyrics that challenge listeners to see people the way Christ sees them. “We get so caught up in numbers, as though each one didn’t matter at all, but Jesus Christ knows every one of them,” Linda sings, capturing both the sorrow of human tragedy and the compassion of a Savior who gave His life for every individual soul.

Influenced by bluegrass, folk, gospel, and rock music throughout her career, Linda Boles brings sincerity and authenticity to every performance. With “One At A Time,” she offers a timely reminder that no life is insignificant and no person is forgotten in the eyes of God.
