Executive produced by the Cabaret Oscar winner, Gershwin Country features performances from Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Brad Paisley, Lyle Lovett, Rosanne Cash, and more.

Gershwin Country, a new album from Grammy nominee Michael Feinstein reimagining the songs of George and Ira Gershwin through the lens of country music, arrives March 11 from Craft Recordings. Get a special first listen to Feinstein and EGOT winner Liza Minnelli putting their own country spin on "Embraceable You" above.

The recording pairs Feinstein with a host of country music stars, including Tony nominee Dolly Parton (9 to 5), Alison Krauss, Brad Paisley, and Rosanne Cash. Along with contributing vocals, Minnelli is an executive producer on the album.

“Every single [artist] was an inspiration with the caring, dedication, and wisdom they instilled in these songs," shares Feinstein. "Some titles were new to them, and that brought a gift of freshness to the proceedings.” Making the album, he adds, “was one of the happiest experiences of my life. Music is truly the universal language, and we all felt such a part of each other through the process.”
