James Otto is showing his respect and gratitude to his heroes with his new single entitled “Soldiers & Jesus” to hit country radio airwaves immediately. The song is from his upcoming album, Shake What God Gave Ya, to be released September 14th. James’ traditional military upbringing inspired this song, which expresses his deep appreciation for all of the people who have served our country and offered to lay down their lives for others.

“I’m part of a military family. My dad was an Army Ranger drill sergeant for 23 years—and my grandfather is a Korean War vet; I served in the Navy myself,” Otto shares. “Also, being a guy who considers himself a Christian, I think this song has a interesting twist: ‘there are only two people that have ever given their lives for me, and it has been soldiers and Jesus.’” Otto continues, “Regardless of the politics that can often divide our nation, I think it’s always important to support our troops who defend our right to worship as we each see fit.”
