Shenandoah – The Church on Cumberland Road (1989)
Directed by: Larry Boothby
A spirited country anthem by Shenandoah, “The Church on Cumberland Road” captures the excitement of racing to a wedding, blending lively storytelling with the band’s signature harmonies. Released in January 1989 as part of their breakthrough album *The Road Not Taken*, the song became their first No. 1 hit in the US and Canada. Written by Bob DiPiero, John Scott Sherrill, and Dennis Robbins, it helped cement Shenandoah’s place in the country spotlight. Directed by Larry Boothby, the band’s first-ever music video adds visual flair to this classic tale of southern love and urgency.
