When we think of Country Music legends the name Hank Williams will always be on that list and this week check out some of his greatest Hank Williams cover songs from other stars.
Written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore and recorded in 1963 by the legendary Johnny Cash it is #4 on CMT’s 100 greatest songs of Country Music, see who covered it here.
The Legendary Greg Allman passed away this weekend leaving a legacy of music behind including one of his signature songs that has been covered by many country artists.
The song was written by Billy Joel for his 1989 album storm front, his version just touched the top 40, find out what country legend took it all the way to number one two years later.
I was surprised to learn how many popular country songs were actually done before, so I created a weekly feature called Doug’s Got Ya Covered’ video of the week.
