Alan Jackson - The Older I Get

[jp liz v1]

@Tauriel

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

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 

[jp liz v1]

@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 

[jp liz v1]

@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 

[jp liz v1]

Not sure how to feel right now...

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

[Wichita Lineman]

[jp liz v1]

[jp liz v1]

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

[jp liz v1]

@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 

[jp liz v1]

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

Boondocks by Face Vocal Band

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

[jp liz v1]

@Butty Brennan

Nanci Griffith with No Expectations

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

[jp liz v1]

@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 

[jp liz v1]

@Jluv


The Highwaymen with Sunday Morning Coming Down 

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

[jp liz v1]

@ShaneU

Toots Hibbert with Country Roads 

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

[jp liz v1]

@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 

[jp liz v1]

@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

[jp liz v1]
