Country singer Lee Greenwood, best known for his iconic patriotic song, “God Bless the USA,” released a new ‘rock version’ of the beloved song on Friday.
Greenwood, 82, first released “God Bless the USA” forty years ago, in May 1984, but what really made the song hit the top of the charts was due to former President Ronald Reagan using it in his presidential campaign. Now former President Donald Trump has done the same, and the song is played as he is introduced at every rally.
In the newly-released version of the song, Greenwood teams up with country singer Drew Jacobs.
The song starts out with Greenwood singing, then Jacobs joins in, creating an incredible joint performance.
As they sing, images of farm scenes, workers and heroes from all over America flash across the screen.
Jacobs posted the new music video on his YouTube channel on Friday. The song is getting rave reviews, with some suggesting the two should perform it at Trump’s inauguration, if he wins the election.
Greenwood and Jacobs are making a big push to try to get the new song to the top of the charts before Election Day.
