The album’s title track is available now, and pre-orders for the new project begin today.
“90s Country Is Hotter Than a Two-Dollar Pistol”
“We just can’t wait to share these new songs with our fans,” says Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon. “It’s been seven years since we released a new album so the timing couldn’t be better. As everybody knows, 90s country is hotter than a two-dollar pistol right now, and I can say this new album won’t disappoint our fans, old or new. Get ready, y’all!”
Star-Studded Collaborations, With More Guests on the Way
Featuring a collection of new music alongside several of the band’s recent high-profile collaborations, If That Ain’t Country will include nine additional tracks, with more featured guest artists set to be announced in the coming weeks.
