Just before Darin & Brooke Aldridge walked on stage for their Friday night Grand Ole Opry appearance, they were surprised backstage by their record label with three plaques acknowledging their #1 album and single successes of 2021, for their album This Life We’re Livin’ and for singles “Blue Baby Now” and “He’s Getting Me Ready” (with the Oak Ridge Boys). The husband and wife duo just released a new single and video, “Grand Ole Circle,” a tribute to their beloved Opry. Watch above.
