Ray Tarantino has released his new album, 'Good Things Will Happen.'

The Italian-born Tarantino was raised in the UK, helping lend a dose of British pop to his Americana sound. Now located in Nashville, he is currently touring the US.

Tarantino entered the music business after a traumatic high-speed car accident almost ended his life. After the wreck, he quit his corporate job and moved into a '97 Econoline van to pursue his dream of making music.

"The minute I sit down and start jamming on my instrument I look for a sound that gives me goose bumps, a vibe in the rhythm and a melody that takes me places," Tarantino says of his writing inspiration. "Then I start imagining things and maybe that’s the soul connection. Maybe soul is juts a result of letting go."

"I try to concentrate on what counts for me. Sure I could be all hip and go record in a cave somewhere or by the ocean with the sound of waves and butterflies getting into the mix but why? I just try to tell a story with every song and I want things to change within the story."

'Good Things Will Happen' is available through Tiny Drum Records on RayTarantino.com. See a list of upcoming tour dates here.
