To help celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, Lang is offering free downloads of “I Thank You Lord” at his website RickLangMusic.com.

“Thanksgiving is perhaps my very favorite holiday of the year. It’s all about home, family, friends, being grateful for what we have, and counting our blessings. I’ve always dreamed about writing and releasing a single to celebrate what Thanksgiving stands for. Well, my dream has now become a reality. I got together with my good friend Evan Dickerson (who hosts the Evan Dickerson Bluegrass Talk Show) and wrote ‘I Thank You Lord’ to release in time for Thanksgiving this year. The song track was produced by my good friend Jared Easter (founder of BuyDemoTracks.com) and features his cousin Morgan Easter on lead vocals,” explained Lang. “Morgan is gifted with one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard and was a perfect fit for the song.”
