/by

Virgin Music has released Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration, a new project featuring recordings from former President Jimmy Carter’s final Sunday School lessons delivered at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

The collection’s unveiling comes one month before Carter’s 100th birthday and also includes soulful songs from Jon Batiste, Keb’ Mo’, LeAnn Rimes, Darius Rucker and Nicole Zuraitis.

“My hope is this project shines a light on his incredible legacy and unites families together to relish in the beauty of life together,” says Rucker.

“Jimmy Carter’s legacy of kindness and dedication to humanity will endure, reminding us all of the impact one person’s love can have on the world,” notes Rimes.

“I would like our presidential candidates to keep our country at peace, and to be champions of human rights, of environmental quality and of equality,” Carter explains on the recording. “Aren’t those things you would like to have? It puts the responsibility on us as Americans to make our country better by helping to give somebody else a better life.”
