BLUEGRASSERS LORRAINE JORDAN & CAROLINA ROAD 

RELEASE LATEST VIDEO "DO YOU WANNA GO TO HEAVEN" 

WITH COUNTRY LEGEND T.G. SHEPPARD

Bluegrass crowd favorites Lorraine Jordan & Carolina have turned a lot of heads with their latest project, Country Grass.  The band continues to leave their mark on the genre with the latest video for "Do You Wanna Go to Heaven."  The track features 21-time country chart-topper T.G. Sheppard on the classic song, which recently celebrated its 35th Anniversary since topping the country charts. 

"I've always loved bluegrass music," says Sheppard on the heels of releasing his latest critically acclaimed album, Legendary Friends & Country Duets. "I'm glad that this song turned out so well," he adds of the hit song, which is one of his biggest hits.

Country Grass is the latest trend in bluegrass music, where the award-winning Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road  teamed up with some of the biggest names in classic country.  The tracks were recorded with the original singers on lead, with Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road singing along, this time with invigorating bluegrass instrumentals. The star-studded project also features collaborations with Crystal Gayle, Lee Greenwood, The Kentucky Headhunters, John Conlee, Eddy Raven, and Marty Raybon in addition to the late Jim Ed Brown and Lynn Anderson.
