Singer/cowgirl Jenna Paulette released her 13-track sophomore album, “Horseback,” last September, featuring the song “The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song),” written by Ashley McBryde, Matraca Berg and Lori McKenna. ‘The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song)’ was dedicated to Paulette’s grandfather, the patriarch who shaped her life.
Now Paulette has recruited McBryde for a special collaboration version of the track; Jenna shared: “I grew up in a ranching family on the Texas/Oklahoma line in Thackerville, Okla. Oklahoma. I’d be listening to Don Williams, Eddie Arnold and George Strait in my grandad’s ranch truck as we checked cattle, and I just thought to myself, ‘well, if they can sing about what they’re living, maybe I can too.’ That grandaddy that took me with him to check cows made a huge impact on me.
