Award-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods marks the ten-year anniversary of “Portland, Maine” with a newly recorded version featuring multi-platinum and Grammy Award winner LeAnn Rimes. Originally co-written with the late Abe Stoklasa, the song followed an unlikely path, first recorded by Tim McGraw in 2014 before Woods released his own demo version in 2015, a move that helped define his career and introduce the song to a wide and devoted audience.
The new recording brings added depth and gravity, pairing Woods’ intimate delivery with Rimes’ unmistakable vocal presence. Her contribution broadens the song’s emotional scope while honoring its quiet storytelling core, creating a version that carries memory, history, and renewed connection in every line. The collaboration stands as a meaningful tribute to the song’s journey, its creators, and its lasting place in Woods’ catalogue.
