The single currently being promoted at country radio features Chris Stapleton, and although some may be disappointed to hear a version without the superstar (arguably so), I’m here to tell you that Carly absolutely CRUSHED it. While the original studio version is nothing short of amazing, the emotion conveyed by Pearce in this video supersedes that of her vocal performance on the original.
