Grammy-winning songwriter and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Marcus Hummon has reunited with his son, Levi Hummon, for a deeply personal new rendition of the timeless hit "Bless the Broken Road," available now via 3686 Records.
Stripped down to just piano and vocals, the track reflects the way the song has been shared for years in intimate settings-whether on stage or at home. "For years, Levi and I have sung this song everywhere, from shows to family gatherings," Marcus shares. "Recording it the way we've always performed it... felt like the most natural way to honor its journey."

Originally co-written by Marcus alongside Bobby Boyd and Jeff Hanna, "Bless the Broken Road" became a defining modern country classic-earning Best Country Song at the 2005 Grammy Awards and later immortalized by Rascal Flatts. Now, more than two decades later, the song returns to its source in a version that highlights its emotional and spiritual core.
Levi Hummon adds a generational dimension to the release, bringing both a contemporary audience and personal history to the performance. "This is the version I've been singing with him at the piano for as long as I can remember," Levi says. "It's the version that's always felt most like home to me."
The release represents a full-circle moment for Marcus, whose songwriting catalog includes chart-topping hits such as "Born to Fly" (Sara Evans) and "Cowboy Take Me Away" (The Chicks). With Levi-who has amassed over 215 million global streams and collaborated with artists ranging from Steven Tyler to Tim McGraw-the song is reintroduced to a new generation without losing its original heart.
Rooted in themes of hope, faith, and divine timing, this father-son rendition underscores the enduring message that even life's detours can lead exactly where one is meant to be.
