By sharing the new music, he also shares his hope that his fans are inspired and uplifted, and will take a moment to enjoy the beauty of nature and celebrate the real heroes during this crisis.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1821348\/billy-ray-cyrus-finds-higher-power-in-higher-ground\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 12m ago Billy Ray Cyrus is showing his spiritual side in the new video for \u201cHigher Ground.\u201d The song and video bring light to Feed the Front Line, an organization supporting the local restaurant industry as well as front line workers.
