"Not To Worry...They Got It Covered..."

I talk a lot on the show about being a hard sell when it comes to country singers covering pop songs.

And, fair being fair, I'm equally skeptical when pop artists try to return the favor.

I think it's probably not a stretch, though, to say that more country singers aspire to go pop than the other way around.

My guess would be it's gonna be a while before Coldplay takes a crack at "Coal Miner's Daughter".

There are, of course, always exceptions to my rule of thumg because some singers understand that the trick to it is realizing it's about finding the song that fits what they already do, style wise.

Ronnie and Kix found it when they covered the B.W. Stevenson hit, "My Maria"...and Lonestar completely nailed "Walking In Memphis."

I've included a video for you here of another really good choice...the song was actually a pop hit for the group Dream Academy back in the 80's. But Jennifer and Kristian, with the help of Jake Owen and Little Big Town, turn this into a piece that crosses all the musical borders seamlessly.

Hey, nah, nah, indeed.

Enjoy.
