"Congregation" comes from Sonic Highways, Foo Fighters' eighth studio album, released in 2014, and this one belongs to Nashville. The band cut it at Southern Ground Studios there, and it anchored the Nashville episode of their Sonic Highways TV series, the one digging into the country establishment's home turf.
Zac Brown drops in on electric guitar and backing vocals, the country star having already teamed up with Dave Grohl on The Grohl Sessions, Vol. 1. Nate Mendel explained the title as a nod to how so many Nashville players first learned their trade singing in church. Butch Vig produced it with the band, and it rides on Grohl, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear's stacked guitars, Taylor Hawkins' drums and Rami Jaffee's organ and piano.
