The idea for Country Goes Reggae came on a trip to Negril, Jamaica in 2019, when producers The Berman Brothers were sitting at sunset at a beach bar listening to Reggae classics as a car passed by blasting U.S. country songs. they knew the two worlds, with the blend of different styles and cultures, would work perfectly together.
The 11-track project recreates the musical arrangements behind beloved country hits, featuring Jimmie Allen, Randy Houser, Alexandra Kay, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts, Landon Parker, Chase Rice, Uncle Kracker, Lainey Wilson, and Country Music Hall of Famers Alabama and Dolly Parton.
