Disney Goes Country: Inside Disneyโ€™s Main Street Country EP

Disney soundtracks are known for their excellent storytelling, emotion, and unforgettable melodies. With the release of Main Street Country, Walt Disney Records continues that legacy through the lens of modern country music. Released on April 3, 2026, the fiveโ€‘track EP is their latest genre crossover from their very successful Mickey & Friends music series,

The album pairs beloved Disney songs with contemporary country artists who grew up with them. As a result, it feels authentic rather than a novelty cash grab.

What Is Disneyโ€™s Main Street Country EP?

Disneyโ€™s Main Street Country celebrates the shared values between Disney and country music: heart, nostalgia, and stories that resonate across generations. To that end, the EP invited several popular artists to reinterpret the songs in their own way, including

  • Kane Brown & Katelyn Brown
  • Restless Road
  • Dasha
  • Maddie & Tae
  • BRELAND

Disney described it as an evolution rather than a reinvention, letting the artists retexture the songs with honest emotion while honoring their original spirit. The artists returned the sentiment, noting how much they enjoyed the opportunity Disney gave them.

Disneyโ€™s Main Street Country Track List and Song Details

1. โ€œBeauty and the Beastโ€ โ€“ Kane Brown & Katelyn Brown

โ€œBeauty and the Beastโ€ is the first song on Disney’s Main Street Country album. Performed as a duet by Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown, the version of the Oscarโ€‘winning ballad from 1991โ€™s Beauty and the Beast is an intimate, heartfelt arrangement that highlights the originalโ€™s emotional core.

For the Browns, the song is deeply personal. Both artists have publicly mentioned their familyโ€™s longstanding connection to Disney. During an interview for this compilation, Kane Brown noted that:

โ€œOur whole family is captivated by the magic of Disney, and we go every year for our daughter, Kingsleyโ€™s, birthday.โ€

Katelyn Brown continued by saying:

โ€œIt truly is a dream come true for Kane and I to sing โ€˜Beauty & The Beastโ€™ together and to be part of such an amazing legacy,โ€

As a result, the performance feels genuinely personal and nostalgic.

2. โ€œThe Climbโ€ โ€“ Restless Road

Originally from 2009โ€™s Hannah Montana: The Movie, โ€œThe Climbโ€ is a song about perseverance and selfโ€‘growth. So, it makes sense that country trio Restless Road leaned into those themes. The end result feels genuinely country, with rich harmonies and a stripped-back arrangement that feels at home in modern country music.

During interviews for this Disney’s Main Street Country album, the group noted that:

โ€œBringing our sound into the world of Disney, which celebrates imagination, family, and timeless storytelling, is surreal in the best way. Itโ€™s an incredible honor to represent country music in a space that reaches so many ears and hearts.โ€

3. โ€œSheโ€™s So Goneโ€ โ€“ Dasha

โ€œSheโ€™s So Goneโ€ comes from the 2011 Disney Channel Original Movie Lemonade Mouth with an empowering message about independence and self-expression. Dasha gave it a confident and modern update with a contemporary country edge.

Dasha often referred to the song as one of Disneyโ€™s most iconic songs.  Reiterating on this, she said:

โ€œI remember watching Lemonade Mouth for the first time, and the whole movie had me plotting how I was going to reinvent myself before school the next day. This track really captures that moment when women find themselves and boldly show the world who they are. Iโ€™m so excited to share this with a new generation and remind them that they can reinvent themselves and be exactly who they want to be.โ€

4. โ€œYouโ€™ll Be in My Heartโ€ โ€“ Maddie & Tae

Few songs have the emotional impact of Phil Collinsโ€™ โ€œYouโ€™ll Be in My Heartโ€ from 1999โ€™s Tarzan. Luckily, Maddie & Tae had the talent to do it justice. The duo blended the songโ€™s original tenderness with acoustic country elements to create a warm yet restrained version.

Unfortunately, Disney’s Main Street Country was their final performance together. Luckily, they went out on a high note. In response, they noted how:

โ€œGetting to sing one of our favorite Disney songs feels like coming full circle for us. We grew up on these soundtracks, so to be able to contribute to Disneyโ€™s legacy is surreal. And knowing this is one of our final releases together as Maddie & Tae makes it even more meaningful. It feels like weโ€™re honoring the little girls we were, and the magical journey weโ€™ve been on together.โ€

5. โ€œGo the Distanceโ€ โ€“ BRELAND

Finally, BRELAND closes out the EP with a rendition of โ€œGo the Distanceโ€ from the 1997 hit Hercules. While easily recognizable, it feels like an original country song in purpose and determination.

Discussing the song, BRELAND said:

โ€œThe Hercules soundtrack always really spoke to me. Getting to create some of that same Disney magic that shaped my childhood โ€ฆ is easily one of the most special things Iโ€™ve done as an artist.โ€โ€ฏ

Disneyโ€™s Main Street Country is Going Vinyl in May

Walt Disney Music released all five tracks in the Disney’s Main Street Country collection diitally, on April 3, 2026. So, you should find them wherever you get music, such as Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.

Final Thoughts: Why Disney’s Main Street Country Works

Rather than a simple compilation, Disneyโ€™s Main Street Country allows the country artists to retell their personal stories without changing whatโ€™s already there. As such, the album feels both nostalgic and new, successfully bridging the gap between generations, genres, and musical traditions.

Wow, this July lineup from DC looks incredible! I'm particularly drawn to the "H2SH" storyline in Batman #162. The conflict between Batman and the Bat-Family has been brewing for a while, and with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee at the helm, I have high expectations for a truly impactful issue. It's going to be fascinating to see how the dynamics play out and which side readers will gravitate towards.

The Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit series also sounds like a wild and entertaining ride. An alien conspiracy led by Despero in an outer-space nightclub? That's the kind of creative and unexpected premise that makes comics so much fun. Leah Williams and Haining seem like a great pairing for this, and I'm eager to see their take on these iconic characters in such a bizarre setting. Plus, the five-issue structure suggests a well-paced and engaging narrative. I'm definitely adding this to my pull list.

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special sounds like a fascinating concept, bringing together time-displaced heroes to deal with a threat to the timeline itself. The idea of Batman Beyond, Gold Beetle, and Helena Wayne working together is exciting, and this special seems crucial for understanding the future of the "All In" event. Mark Waid's involvement across multiple titles gives me confidence that these storylines will be well-integrated. I'll be keeping a close eye on how these threads connect.

The Superman titles look solid, with the oversized Superman Treasury being a standout. Jurgens and Redondo on a big Superman story against an alien invasion sounds like classic Superman action. The Superman Unlimited storyline with Kryptonite being weaponized by Toyman also presents an interesting challenge for the Man of Steel. It's good to see different creative teams bringing varied threats to Superman's world.

While there are some intriguing storylines, I'm a bit wary of the sheer number of variant covers and special editions. It sometimes feels like the focus shifts from the story itself to the collectibility aspect. However, the core narratives do hold some promise.

The Batman versus Bat-Family conflict needs to be handled with care to feel earned, and I hope it doesn't just become a superficial brawl. The Green Lantern Corps books seem to be delving into some interesting character dynamics and mysteries on different planets, which could be compelling. I'll be looking for reviews before committing to all these titles.

Mark Waid's involvement in multiple Justice League-related titles and Batman/Superman: World's Finest continues to be a strong point. His ability to weave intricate narratives across different books is impressive. I'm also curious about the work of Dan Jurgens and Bruno Redondo on the Superman Treasury โ€“ that's a veteran writer paired with a dynamic artist, which usually results in something special. The art will be a key factor in many of these titles, and the variant cover artists listed also showcase some impressive talent.

Looking at these solicitations, my main concern is the cost. With so many titles, variant covers, and oversized editions, it can quickly become expensive to follow everything. I'll have to be selective about what I prioritize.

The core storylines, like the Batman/Bat-Family conflict and the "All In" saga developments in the Justice League titles, seem important to follow. I'll likely focus on those and maybe pick up the first issue of the Gotham City Sirens series to see if it lives up to its intriguing premise. The Absolute editions are tempting but often carry a higher price tag, so I'll need to consider those carefully. Ultimately, I'll be making my choices based on critical reviews and my long-term interest in the ongoing narratives.

The Batman storyline with the Bat-Family sounds like it could be intense. I'm also somewhat interested in seeing what this alien conspiracy in the Gotham City Sirens book is all about.
