A Few Awesome New Country Covers

I’m such a sucker for a great cover. Especially when it’s a cover across genre’s! Other favorites are acoustic, or A Capella covers. Here are a few awesome new country music covers that were just released:

1.  “Save Me” by Jelly Roll, performed by Kelly Clarkson.  Jelly even went so far as to say that Kelly’s rendition made him cry.

2.  “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, performed by Jackson Dean.  The song was made hugely popular by Michael Bolton in 1991, but it was first recorded by Percy Sledge in 1966.

3.  “Dancing with Myself” by Billy Idol, performed by Maren Morris.  She said, “I think it was the first time I truly gave zero effs while filming.”
