In an exciting twist for country music fans, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan are lending modern-day star power to a revamped version of Shenandoah's comforting country classic, "Sunday in the South." Originally recorded for Shenandoah's 1989 The Road Not Taken album, "Sunday in the South" is one of the group’s enduring hits, and it was a No. 1 radio single following its release. Today, this beautiful ballad continues to resonate deeply with country music enthusiasts, capturing the essence of small-town Sundays filled with faith and warmth.
The updated rendition features Bryan and Aldean trading verses with lead Shenandoah vocalist Marty Raybon, adding a nostalgic touch to the beloved track, which debuted on Friday, September 13. Raybon expressed his excitement, stating, "Recording one of the staples in our set list with a couple of country boys like Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan couldn’t have been a better fit. We are honored that they would be part of such a meaningful song to us. They sure did carry the mail!"
Following the release, Shenandoah shared heartwarming video footage of Bryan visiting them on stage during a live performance. This revamped version of "Sunday in the South" marks the second time in as many years that Shenandoah have collaborated with modern-day stars to breathe new life into their classic songs. Last September, they teamed up with Luke Combs for a duet rendition of "Two Dozen Roses," another hit track from The Road Not Taken.
