Two of the rip-roarin' hottest stars in the country music firmament - Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean - teamed up with Shenandoah for a rousing new music video of the song "Sunday in the South."

Shenandoah released a bunch of solid-performing songs like "Moon Over Georgia," "Two Dozen Roses," and "Next To You, Next To Me." But "Sunday in the South" seemed to resonate strongly with listeners because it so accurately and intensely conjured up a picture of beloved small-town Southern life as it used to be.
"...I can almost hear the old folks say
"You'll make it big one day, you'll leave this town
Some other lazy Sunday you'll be back around", alright
I can feel the evenin' sun go down
And all the lights in the houses one by one go out
Softly in the distance nothin' stirs about
And the night is filled with the sound of a whippoorwill
On a Sunday in the south, alright...."

Jason Aldean And Luke Bryan Commented On What Working With Shenandoah Was Like
Jason Aldean remarked, "It's just always an honor for us to get to work with these guys we grew up listening to." Luke Bryan said, "My earliest memories of 'Sunday in the South' is that it was a song that was speaking exactly my life. This song shaped the way I thought about music and how I wanted to make music one day."
Filmed at the Country Boy Restaurant in Leipers Fork, Tennessee, the new video has an authentic Southern feel that Southerners will warm to and non-Southerners will find fascinating.
