Sony Music Nashville Honors Jeannie Seely with Three Reimagined Classics

Grand Ole Opry legend Jeannie Seely, known as โ€˜Miss Country Soul,โ€™ has performed over 5,400 times on the Grand Ole Opry stage throughout her nearly 58-year tenure, more than any other country artist in the showโ€™s 100-year history. Her expansive career as a songwriter and performer began with her 1966 hit โ€œDonโ€™t Touch Meโ€ and continues to endure today, cementing her legacy as an influential mentor for female artists at the Opry and beyond.

Jeannie Seely said, โ€œWhat an honor toโ€ฏbeโ€ฏa part of this exciting new Sony Music Publishing Production with Chelseaโ€ฏKent. โ€ฏItโ€ฏis one thing to haveโ€ฏyourโ€ฏold copyrights reinvented in a fresh light, but yet another toโ€ฏbe includedโ€ฏonโ€ฏthe recordingsโ€ฏas well! โ€ฏIt has been a joy to work with some of the brightest and most talented young artists and musiciansโ€ฏwho are leading our industry into the future.โ€ 

โ€œWe are honored to represent Jeannie Seely and her incredible catalog of songs. She is a genre-defining artist and songwriter who has continued to be one of the greatest mentors across multiple generations of country music. This project showcases our teamโ€™s unique ability to bring value to our songwriters in innovative ways, and we are grateful for Jeannieโ€™s partnership on these exciting new releases,โ€ said Rusty Gaston, CEOSony Music Publishing Nashville. 

Newly recorded by Mae Estes, the projectโ€™s first release โ€œLetโ€™s Get Togetherโ€ is an unreleased song written by Jeannie Seely and Glen Campbell. Discovered by SMP catalog expert Dale Bobo in Sony Music Publishing Nashvilleโ€™s tape room, this hidden gem has been revitalized through modern technology by engineer Jason Hall, enabling a new artist to join the recording.  
 

Dropping on March 21, the second release โ€œWho Needs Youโ€ is a fun and rowdy track thatโ€™s already an Opry favorite and is perfect for a girlsโ€™ night out. Solely written by Jeannie Seely and recorded at Sony Tree Studio A, the track features Jeannie, Hannah Dasher and Tiera Kennedy and is produced by multi-year ACM Electric Guitar Player of the Year Rob McNelley. 
 
The final installment in the series arrives on March 28 with โ€œAnyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand),โ€ featuring Seely and Opry Next inductee Madeline Edwards. Co-produced by Edwards and McNelley, the release brings a fresh perspective to the iconic R&B hit.
