Curb Records is slated to release two albums featuring iconic artists, including some Christian musicians, for the 2024 “Reagan” film starring Dennis Quaid, Penelope Ann Miller, and Jon Voight.
“Reagan” has been nominated for Feature Film of the Year at this year’s upcoming Gospel Music Association Dove Awards.
One album will include songs inspired by the film and will feature Kathie Lee Gifford, Travis Tritt, Ricky Skaggs, Alabama, Tanya Tucker, Lee Greenwood, Marty Stuart, Gary Cherone (Extreme, Van Halen), The Commodores, Wayne Newton, and Sweet Comfort Band.
The other album will include Creed frontman Scott Stapp, DeGarmo & Key, MŌRIAH, and Genesis, as well as new recordings from Bob Dylan, KISS frontman Gene Simmons, B.J. Thomas, Clint Black, and Phil Keaggy.

More than 600 people attended a special night of music on Aug. 11 in Franklin, Tennessee. The night included a live performance by Keaggy and Jamie Rowe (Guardian, Kalamity Kills) covering Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child o’ Mine.” Other performers included Skaggs, The Commodores, Gifford, Claude Kelly, and Greenwood, who performed a song written by Ronald Reagan himself.
Veteran musician and film producer Mark Joseph (“Reagan”) held a signing for his book “Make Reagan” and during a panel gave a glimpse into some of what went on behind the scenes of the film.
Joseph has worked on multiple blockbuster films, including “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “Son of God,” and “Ray.”

“’Reagan,’ the motion picture, needed to come out in these very politically divisive times,” Gene Simmons said in an endorsement of Joseph’s book. “And now with the book Making Reagan, perhaps people on both sides of the aisle will more fully understand why Ronald Reagan was the right president for the right time.”
