It’s hard to believe that just a few years ago, superstar Megan Moroney was a college influencer attempting to break into music. Back in 2021, she frequently posted singing videos that spotlighted her genuine songwriting skills and charming voice.

Written by Green himself, the song’s seductive lyrics are delivered mesmerizingly by his smooth voice. But, there’s…

Thank goodness for country covers. Whether it’s an artist performing a cover live at their concert or releasing a re-recorded version of a beloved song, these remakes capture the essence of what country music is all about: celebrating music through the retelling of stories.
