Marty Raybon, Lorraine JordanLorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, along with Marty Raybon, just released the latest video for “Darned if I Don’t, Danged if I Do,” exclusively on Country Rebel. The song was made famous by Raybon’s band Shenandoah, upon its initial release. The track is featured on Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road’s latest album, Country Grass, which also includes collaborations with Crystal Gayle, Lee Greenwood, The Kentucky Headhunters, John Conlee, Eddy Raven and T.G. Sheppard, in addition to the late Jim Ed Brown and Lynn Anderson.

I’ve always been a fan of Marty Raybon, so working with him has been a dream come true. I hope fans enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it – Lorraine Jordan.

Recently celebrating its 20th Anniversary, “Darned if I Don’t, Danged if I Do” was originally released in 1995. The Grammy-nominated song, written by Ronnie Dunn and Dean Dillion was re-recorded, this time with a new toe-tapping bluegrass flavour. The song originally peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Country Songs chart.
