I’m glad this popped up on YouTube. Country artist Jess McEntire wants to help preserve old Route 66 by donating his royalties and publishing rights of his music and others’ the cause. You can read more about his efforts through the Project Route 66 site.
The legendary Loretta Lynn heard about it and donated a song she wrote, called “Ole Route 66.” Here’s McEntire performing the song with Lynn’s band as the Queen of Country Music looks on.
