Since releasing their recording of “Amazing Grace” in 2021, the McCrary Sisters — dubbed “Nashville musical royalty” by NPR — have lost two members of their legendary family: sister Deborah and brother Sam, Jr. In Spirit healing, the iconic band will release two new tracks featuring some of Deborah’s latest recordings: “Shake It Off,” out now, and “Run On,” which bows September 2.
Written by Regina McCrary and Ann McCrary, “Shake It Off” aims to encourage – to see beyond the immediate challenge to the bigger picture, to be assured that there is always a way out and a way forward.
“I had just left church and was feeling good on the highway home,” Regina says. “Someone interrupted me and flipped me the bird. And I thought, ‘I have to get rid of this.’ Sometimes we lose our balance. I realize that one of my weaknesses is road rage. I have to catch up. I have to get rid of this. It can happen at any time. You try to be nice to someone and they all become arrogant and rude, you need to take the higher road.

On September 2, the McCrary Sisters will release “Run On,” a traditional song with a karmic theme. Ann shares, “When I was a kid, my dad always said, ‘Don’t worry about it – God will get them.’ I’m afraid of the things that are happening in the world. There’s nothing I can do personally sometimes, but I know God will take care of it. I might not see it or hear about it, and that’s okay.
In addition to the renowned vocals of Regina, Ann, Alfreda and Deborah, “Run On” features vocals from Allen McCrary (one of the Sisters’ beloved brothers).
“We are especially moved to release this extended family recording this year as we grieve – there were 8 of us and everyone sang along,” the band said. “There were 8 of us, and now there are 5 of us. It’s particularly meaningful to release a song with our brother’s voice this year. »
The McCrary Sisters (who have recorded or performed with Delbert McClinton, Black Keys, Sheryl Crow, Maren Morris, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Buddy Miller, Rosanne Cash, Margo Price, Widespread Panic and many others) continue to mourn the passing of their sister on June 1, while honoring her dear memory.
“We will greatly miss his voice and presence,” shares Alfreda. “Deborah was so funny – I’m so honored and blessed that God let me have her for my sister. It’s an amazing feeling when you know someone loves you! Deborah always said it was a blessing to be able to sing with her sisters, and we feel the same way.
