“Let’s Sing Our Song” featuring John Cowan

By cartcleve@gmail.com

Fresh off the success of their groundbreaking 2025 self-titled release, fiddle masters Jason Carter and Michael Cleveland return with a brand-new single, “Let’s Sing Our Song,” featuring New Grass Revival Alumni and current Doobie Brothers bassist and vocalist, John Cowan. The track emerges from the same celebrated recording sessions that produced Carter & Cleveland — the album that earned the 2025 Album of the Year honor from the International Bluegrass Music Association and a 2026 GRAMMY® nomination.

Not every gem recorded during those award-winning sessions made the final album cut. “Let’s Sing Our Song” stands out as one of the most electrifying performances — a vibrant, groove-soaked tune written by the legendary Jerry Reed — and remains a favorite among the unreleased tracks.

“I first heard this on a Jerry Reed record and fell in love with it,” Carter recalls. “It’s one of my favorites that we recorded. I love the Cajun-style twin fiddles and the whole vibe of the song — and it’s also one of my favorites to play live.”

Cleveland agrees, adding, “I’ve always been a huge fan of Jerry Reed. There’s just something about the way he played and sang — so effortless, so groovy, so full of personality. So when Jason brought up doing this tune, it wasn’t even a discussion for me. Every time I hear it, my mood lifts about ten notches. I’ll be the first to admit I’m a terrible dancer — nobody’s hiring me for choreography — but if I’m ever going to try, it’s going to be to this song.”

The spirit of the original session carried over to the stage when John Cowan joined Carter and Cleveland at the Grand Ole Opry for the song’s debut performance. Watch the exclusive video premiere at Bluegrass Today.

“Let’s Sing Our Song” is now available to radio via Get It Played and on streaming services. For more information visit www.JasonCarterFiddle.com and www.MichaelClevelandFiddle.com.
