Celebrated vocalist Arnold McCuller (James Taylor, Phil Collins) and renowned drummer and producer Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney) have collaborated on a powerful new recording of The Star Spangled Banner, highlighting the rarely performed second and fourth verses of the U.S. national anthem. Inspired by McCuller’s memorable 2002 performance of the fourth verse in The Sum of All Fears, the new rendition is a fresh take on this patriotic classic, anchored by Marotta’s inventive percussion-based arrangement.
