Billy Ray Cyrus Releases New Song 'Do What I Do' in Honor of Veteran's Day

Watch Billy Ray Cyrus, Ssgt. Mark Plummer (Ret.) and Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses) be interviewed by host Robin Meade on HLN/CNN TV's live morning show "Morning Express with Robin Meade" re their new song "Do What I Do," which was released yesterday, November 11, in honor of Veteran's Day (HERE).

Billy Ray Cyrus, Matt Sorum and Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) teamed with SSgt. Mark Plummer (Ret.) a Wounded Warrior and U.S. veteran with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to create a video for the song "Do What I Do." SSgt. Plummer initially wrote the song "Do What I Do" about his on-going battle with PTSD after serving three combat deployments in Iraq. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder continues to take the lives of 22 U.S. veterans daily via suicide. Watch the video for "Do What I Do"(HERE) and purchase the track on iTunes (HERE).

A long-time supporter of U.S. veterans causes, Billy Ray Cyrus explains, "When Matt (Sorum) sent me the song and told me about the project, it was clear to see, hear and feel the potential for healing the mind and spirit that only music can bring. Mark Plummer is a talented artist, who also happens to be an American Hero. He's lived the words of his message and that realism translates and can help many other veterans suffering fromPTSD."

Sorum began to use music as therapy for veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after teaming up to help the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, CA. He founded the Global Sound Lodge, a charity that provides a music for healing program and Global Sound Lodge organization donates instruments to orphanages, shelters and veterans programs around the world: www.globalsoundlodge.org.Proceeds from the sale of "Do What I Do" will be donated to Global Sound Lodge.
