Like Blake Shelton, Jimmie Johnson got the Boys ‘Rounds Here at Legacy Motor Club and went to New York City. And the entire gang got together to recreate possibly the most iconic piece of music history.
Erik Jones, Noah Gragson, and Jimmie Johnson went to NYC to remake the album cover of Abbey Road.
The Beatles’ Abbey Road is easily the most well-recognized album cover ever. A simple picture of the four bandmates walking on the Zebra Crossing at, you guessed it, Abbey Road, London. But 17 incredible songs made with the iconic Beatles ring to it is an easy recipe for success, especially in the late and trippy 60s.

But even more than music, the album’s cover was one thing getting worldwide attention. In fact, people who don’t even know the band or any music can instantly tell “Abbey Road” by looking at it.
And Jimmie Johnson and the Legacy Motor Club gang felt like a random zebra crossing in NYC was the perfect time to recreate the iconic album cover.

Talking about the album would be pretty pointless because the only things to share are facts everyone knows. The album has remained an inseparable part of pop culture in the late 60s for very good reason. To see the gang pay homage to the album on their trip to New York is a pretty incredible thing. Especially in 2023, after all these years.
