Michael Ray’s debut self-titled album is set for release Friday (August 7).

Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville is offering a bundled package for the newcomer, including an autographed poster, digital and physical album and six instant downloads.

Ray’s debut single, “Kiss Me In The Morning,” hit No. 1 on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Chart July 16, and just cracked the top five on other charts. The video for the song can be viewed here.
