Shenandoah enlists Luke Combs for new version of ‘Two Dozen Roses’

The song is available digitally

Grammy, ACM and CMA-winning Shenandoah enlists reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs for a new version of the group’s global hit “Two Dozen Roses.” Released via 8 Track Entertainment, the collaboration is available now.

Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon delivers the opening lyrics of “Two Dozen Roses” with his signature sound that helped establish the style of ’80s and ’90s country music, influencing a new generation of artists like Combs. Complementing Raybon’s emotive vocals, Combs takes the second verse, bringing his unique edge to the classic, which he has included in his own concert setlist.

The song was produced by Grammy-winning engineer Noah Gordon and recorded at the historic Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, where the original version was recorded and the longtime home to founding members Marty Raybon and Mike McGuire.

Shenandoah teased the collaboration on Instagram in June, writing, “Good times in the studio today with @lukecombs. We have some exciting things in the works. Stay tuned!”

“Two Dozen Roses” follows Shenandoah’s 2020 album, Every Road, which featured collaborations with Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Ashley McBryde, Dierks Bentley, Lady A, Zac Brown Band, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson and Brad Paisley. Every Road marked the group’s tenth studio album, after notching 13 No. 1 hits, charting 26 singles on Billboard country charts and accumulating over 300 million on-demand streams.
