You’ve probably heard of the success Luke Combs is having with his cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” but did you know there are other country covers released in 2023, also? I came across the first song on this list and had no idea the original was old enough to be covered already! 🙃 Kind of like all those Spider Man movies that keep getting remade every other year, I guess there really isn’t a time limit on covering this song or that one. So first up on the list is an early Tim McGraw song. Brett Young’s fans are already loving this one, it’s “Don’t Take the Girl.”
Age is just a number as country icon Shania Twain covers a song by a very popular artist nearly half her age. It’s Harry Styles’ 2019 song “Falling.”
Sarah Darling covers a song that’s older than she is. Released in 1980, it’s Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.”
A song from many decades ago, it’s Zac Brown Band covering “Paint It Black” by Rolling Stones, who released it in the late 1960s.
Last on the list and one of the oldest songs to be covered (also from the 1960s), it’s “Summertime” by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. Here’s the 2023 cover from Amanda Shires & Bobbie Nelson (featuring Willie Nelson).
Are there other 2023 country covers you would add to the list? Comment below, I always love checking out covers of great songs. See y’all tomorrow…
