It was one of those magical Grand Ole Opry nights where the past meets the present in the best way possible. Country legends Alan Jackson and Lee Ann Womack teamed up for a touching performance of “Golden Ring,” the classic duet first made famous by George Jones and Tammy Wynette.
Originally released in 1976, “Golden Ring” tells the emotional story of a couple’s highs and lows—how love begins, unravels, and leaves behind just a simple wedding band. It’s one of those timeless country songs that hits you right in the heart.
Alan and Lee Ann didn’t just sing the song—they lived it. Their voices, rich with experience and emotion, wrapped around the lyrics like an old love letter. Alan, with his signature traditional sound, and Lee Ann, with her soulful delivery, proved why they’re two of the most respected voices in country music.
Fans in the audience—and watching from home—could feel the love and respect these two have for the roots of the genre. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a beautiful reminder of what makes classic country so powerful: heartfelt stories, raw emotion, and voices that tell the truth.
By breathing new life into “Golden Ring,” Alan and Lee Ann not only paid tribute to George and Tammy, but also showed that real country music never goes out of style.
