With his professional music career kicking off on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry at young age of 18 with bluegrass legends Jim and Jesse McReynolds, Daniel Grindstaff has made his mark not only in the bluegrass world, but as a master of the banjo. Over the years, Grindstaff has performed with McReynolds, the legendary Osborne Brothers, and GRAMMY-Award winning artist Marty Raybon, both on the road as well as becoming an important member of Raybon’s studio recordings and concerts. Now he’s back with two more feathers in his cap – 7-time GRAMMY-Award Winner/IBMA Award Winner Paul Brewster and the one and only Dolly Parton who have joined him on his latest single, his take on the beloved Rod Stewart hit “Forever Young.” Today, Grindstaff is releasing the uplifting song’s lyric video, premiering exclusively with The Country Note.
Grindstaff’s banjo brings an incredibly catchy toe-tapping beat while Parton and Brewster’s vocals add harmonic layers supporting the lyrics of this timeless song – with Parton belting out the classic line “I’m right behind you, win or lose!”. Showcasing our Nation’s beautiful heartland, the lyric video brings to life the song’s feeling of optimism, innocence and peace.
“Forever Young” is a song that has always touched my heart, the lyrics paint a picture of encouragement through the changing seasons of life,” says Grindstaff. “I feel this video captures the essence of the lyrics through the various scenes while also embracing the vocals and music. I couldn’t be more thankful for the special guest vocalists, the great Paul Brewster and the legendary Dolly Parton. Their vocals are nothing short of amazing, an absolute dream come true and an experience I’ll never forget. The kindness of Paul and Dolly lending their talents and the sincerity in their voices is what I hope extends to the listeners.”
