Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses,” “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You, Next to Me,” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy-winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart,” a duet with Alison Krauss. Raybon and McGuire formed the band in 1984 in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Before long, they inked a record deal and began establishing a national fan base with their self-titled debut in 1987. However, it was the band’s sophomore effort, The Road Not Taken, that spawned their first top ten hits — “She Doesn’t Cry Anymore” and “Mama Knows.” Shenandoah followed with three consecutive No. 1 hits — “Church on Cumberland Road,” “Sunday in the South” and “Two Dozen Roses.” Shenandoah has recorded ten studio albums and placed 26 singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The boys from Muscle Shoals have left a potent legacy at country radio with such enduring hits as: “Ghost in This House,” “I Want to Be Loved Like That,” “Rock My Baby,” “Janie Baker’s Love Slave,” “If Bubba Can Dance (I Can Too)” and “Leavin’s Been a Long Time Comin.” In 2016, they released the album Good News Travels Fast. The legendary Shenandoah continues to tour the country.
