Our 1st category an original

@DejaBoo

Alan Jackson - The Older I Get



I like Alan and was familiar with him, this has great lyrics but do prefer Remember When

@Butty Brennan

Eddie Rabbitt - Every Which Way But Loose



This was new to me and very old school enigmatic country, it draws you in

I will provide my scores at the end of each round

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick


Caylee Hammack - New Level Of Life 



I enjoyed this pop country tune from an artist new to me, infectious and catchy

@Necro

Jace Everett - Bad Things



As a True Blood fan, enjoyed this very much

@Wichita Lineman

Nanci Griffith - There's A Light Beyond These Woods



A unique voice, nothing she sings is bad

@Jluv

Roy Orbison - Crying 




I do love this song, not sure if he would be classic American country, more rock pop but I did enjoy 

@Tauriel

 Carrie Underwood - [font=Roboto, Arial, sans-serif]Cupid's Got a Shotgun [/font]

[font=Roboto, Arial, sans-serif][/font]


[font=Roboto, Arial, sans-serif]A fun clever track from Queen Carrie [/font]

@Spears

Luke Bryan - Play It Again 




Luke slows it down with a nice classic tale in his sexy southern voice

@ShaneU

Orville Peck - C'mon Baby, Cry




His tone reminds me of Elvis, kinda old school country

What are the scores George Dawes?

I am afraid in bottom place is @DejaBoo and in top spot is @Necro

@DejaBoo

To Make You Feel My Love by Casi Joy

I do like this song with Bob Dylan to Adele to Garth Brooks etc., have given their unique take on it, this cover was new to me but very enjoyable 

@Necro

The Dance by Westlife 

The Irish boyband give us their take on one of Garth's top weepy ballads and tbf they did it well 

@Butty Brennan

To Make you Feel my Love by Garth Brooks 

As said above I do like this song covered by many and Brooks did it justice in his style 

@Wichita Lineman

What She Doing Now by Garth Brooks 

Another classic ballad from Brooks, quite haunting 

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick    @Spears

Thunder Rolls by State of Mine and No Resolve 

Wow what a cover, they smashed it, loved it, thank you both as new to me 

@Jluv

Baton Rouge by Garth Brooks

A classic foot tapper upbeat tune from Brooks, very catchy 

@Tauriel


Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks 

As much I love this original, the cover above overshadowed it for me, sorry @Tauriel

@ShaneU

Make You Feel My Love by Adele 

This lady could sing anything with her unique voice, soulful and easy listening

I do really like the cover though... Great minds think alike, eh @Spears?

Our final round, round 2 a cover of a country song

@Necro

Rascal Flatts with Life is a Highway

I do enjoy RF but honestly I did not know this was a cover, I thought it was originally their own, great cover song by them

@DejaBoo

Grandpa tell me about the Good Old Days by Music Travel Love

I knew the original from The Judds more played now with Naomi's passing but this take on it is very good, a new find for me 

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

Boondocks by Face Vocal Band

Another new find for me, really enjoyed this cover with those harmonies 

@Butty Brennan

Nanci Griffith with No Expectations

She can sing anything with her unique voice, remarkable cover of least known Rolling Stones song

@Spears

Devin Dawson with God's Country

Another newbie for me but he co wrote the song for Blake Shelton, you get chills hearing his take 

@Jluv


The Highwaymen with Sunday Morning Coming Down 

What an all star line up of an amazing song, love it 

@ShaneU

Toots Hibbert with Country Roads 

A reggae take on a classic, it is different and slow for a lively catchy tune

@Tauriel

Miley Cyrus with Jolene 

Miley's cover of godmother Dolly's track is superb, a chameleon who can take on many styles with her voice 

@Wichita Lineman

Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra with All My Tears

Another new discovery for me, I liked it but the music overshadowed the singing in parts

Now the scores for this round, topping it was @DejaBoo with @Wichita Lineman in the bottom
