A Harmony of Heritage: William Lee Golden & Family Revive a Cherished Hymn in “Old Country Church”

In a poignant celebration of faith, family, and musical legacy, Country and Gospel Music Hall of Fame legend William Lee Golden, alongside his family band The Goldens, unveils a heartfelt new music video for the timeless hymn, “Old Country Church.” Arriving just in time for the holiday season, the video captures the powerful, multi-generational bond that only family harmonies can create. Featuring Golden’s iconic lead vocals, supported by sons Chris (background vocals/drums) and Rusty (background vocals/piano), and granddaughter Elizabeth on fiddle, the rendition is a warm and authentic tribute to the songs that have shaped their journey. Produced by Jeff Panzer, the video premieres digitally via Godtube, with television debuts on the American Country Network and the Taste of Country Video Countdown this December.

This special release is steeped in personal history, serving as a living bridge between the past and present. “The song ‘Old Country Church’ takes me right back to my childhood, when my sister Lanette and I sang this on my granddad’s Sunday morning radio show,” shares Golden, reflecting on his first moments singing on the air. The project follows a season of remarkable honor for the group, including their recent induction into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame alongside icons like Billy Dean. Performing classics from their ‘Golden Classics’ collection, the family continues to share their rich musical heritage through videos like “Southern Accents,” “I Saw The Light,” and now “Old Country Church”—a tender homage that invites listeners to remember their own roots and the simple, enduring power of a song passed down through generations.
