*“People through the years have asked us, ‘When are you going to do another one?’,” said Billboard Chart Topping Country singer T.G. Sheppard about the new duet single release with veteran Country singer/songwriter Kelly Lang “You’re Still the One” on Valentine’s Day February 14, 2024.
“Kelly and I had done a duet album before, ‘Iconic Duets.’ A couple of years ago we started picking our favorite songs and Shania Twain’s ‘You’re Still the One’ was one of them. We caught her show.”
The two Country artists, icons in their own right, “Iconic Duets” album was released in 2014, and 10 years later they are blessing us with another one. Lang is married to T.G. and when both of their voices are combined its almost vocal perfection.
“We just finished the album,” Sheppard said when I asked. “It is not yet named. We’re releasing 2 of the 3 singles in April and May.”
T.G. Sheppard is so iconic, artists in the Hip-Hop genre know of his songs.

“I am always amazed,” T.G. said when I told him that a Hip-Hop artist that I know, knew of his legacy. “I met Kid Rock, and he started singing my song. He said, ‘Yea, my parents listen to your music.’ We are best friends now.”
T.G. Sheppard has 14 #1 Country songs (“Slow Burn” and “Make My Day” with Clint Eastwood) and 8 #1 Country albums in the U.S. The Tennessee native was born Williams Neal Browder and is always on tour. In fact, he will be back on the road again starting February 16th and will continue until October 19th. Accompanying him on tour for some dates are T. Graham Brown, Janie Fricke, Moe Brandy, Moore & Moore, Jeannie Seely, and Kelly Lang.
“We both do our own shows,” he informed me when I asked. “Kelly joins us sometimes.”
T.G. Sheppard’s “Make My Day” single with Clint Eastwood ended up on the soundtrack of the film “Sudden Impact.” Billboard has named T.G. Sheppard one of their Top 100 Country Artists of All Time. His current label is Columbia Records, and his latest album was in 2019 titled “Midnight in Memphis” (Columbia Records). Kelly Lang is a singer/songwriter whose songs have been recorded by Ricky Skaggs, Oak Ridge Boys, Crystal Gayle, Jerry Lee Lewis and more. Aside from her duets with T.G., she has duets with Olivia Newton-John and Sir Barry Gibbs. A three-time Star Search winner, Lang is a member of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame (2020) and has received the Icon Award from the Southern Women in Film and Television.

T.G. And Kelly’s vocals on the new duet single “You’re Still the One” are just perfect. I am looking forward to hearing the full album. www.TGSheppard.com www.KellyLang.net
