“Lonestar is back and better than you remember…”

NASHVILLE, TN (February 15, 2024) — Lonestar, the highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning country group, have announced their impassioned rendition of “You Make Loving Fun,” the notable Fleetwood Mac hit, will be released on Friday, March 1. When recording another band’s iconic song, there is always that delicate balance between giving fans what they love about a song yet offering them something new. With “You Make Loving Fun,” Lonestar successfully walks that musical tightrope.

“We changed the arrangement to make it more of a country song,” vocalist Drew Womack says about Lonestar’s approach to the Fleetwood Mac song, which was written and sung by the late Christine McVie. Adding, “it flows really nicely as a country rock song.”

“There were certain parts where we were like, ‘Alright we have to stay true to this section of the song because people will expect that,’” Dean Sams admits. “So, there were certain parts that we tried to remain true to the original, but always keeping in mind we’re Lonestar and if we were going to do it exactly like the original artist, would there really be a point in doing it?”

Lonestar is no stranger to chart-topping hits. The band is fresh off their massively successful 2023 album, TEN to 1, an invigorating re-recording of 10 of their #1 hit songs. It was a labor of love for Lonestar’s keyboardist Dean Sams, drummer Keech Rainwater, guitar virtuoso Michael Britt and lead vocalist Drew Womack. “It just seemed like a real natural progression to go in and re-record these songs and give the fans a modern perspective on the hits,” Sams says. “As a band, we are riding high,” he continues. “We’ve had the two biggest touring years of our career. It feels new again and the fans have just given us a rebirth. We are more energized. We are better players and singers.”

Lonestar celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2022 and continues to show no sign of slowing down. Click here to stay up to date with all of Lonestar’s tour dates and festival appearances.
