A star-studded new album is coming from Shenandoah! The legendary group announces the release of If That Ain’t Country, out on February 26, 2027. The record includes collaborations with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, plus Luke Combs, Alexandra Kay, Nickelback, and more.
“We just can’t wait to share these new songs with our fans,” Shenandoah’s lead singer Marty Raybon says. “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!”
If That Ain’t Country features some of their former hits, including “Two Dozen Roses” with Combs, “Sunday In The South” with Aldean and Bryan, and “The Church On The Cumberland Road” with Nickelback. It also features a new song, “Scares Me More” with Alexandra Kay.
More tracks and guest artists are expected to be announced in the near future.
The Story Behind “Scares Me More” by Shenandoah and Alexandra Kay
Shenandoah and Kay recently released their gorgeous new duet, “Scares Me More.”
“I was so happy when AK agreed to do this song with us,” Raybon says. “She is one of the best new vocalists in country music. If you’re a Shenandoah fan, this song will not disappoint.”
A big fan of Shenandoah and 90s country music, Kay was thrilled to be invited to join Shenandoah on the emotional ballad.
“I’ve loved Shenandoah for so long,” Kay reveals. “They’re one of those bands whose songs were just always part of my world. So getting to actually sing on this record with them is a pinch-me thing. Marty’s become a real friend to me, which makes it even more special. Getting to stand next to someone whose voice I’ve admired for years and harmonize with him, I’m just so grateful for this one. It’s going to mean a lot to me forever.”
Shenandoah’s “Sunday In The South” Collaboration With Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan
At the end of 2024, Shenandoah first released “Sunday In The South” with Aldean and Bryan, a full-circle moment for the two reigning hitmakers.
“My earliest memories of ‘Sunday in the South’ is that it was a song that was speaking exactly my life,” says Bryan. “This song shaped the way I thought about music and how I wanted to make music one day.“
“It’s just always an honor for us to get to work with these guys we grew up listening to,” adds Aldean.
