Renowned entertainer Chad Prather has teamed up with Baste Records to release his latest single, "Famous Again." Written by esteemed songwriter Chris Wallin, the song is a straight-ahead tune that's all about making Jesus famous again.
Chad explains: "The song gets us back to several key values that I think we’ve lost. One is faith and another is real country music. We see how society is slipping and music seems to be slipping with it. This song is a great formula for getting those important things back."
