Lol, it was one of the songs they played at the pub at the 80s night I mentioned in another thread.

I had forgotten how much I liked it.

Kaitlin's latest release. Apparently it's a cover of a Chappel Roan song..🤷

Also, I took shit video of Kaitlin Thursday night when word on the streets was she was out singing karaoke.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Chappels version, including the video ...the original and the best, though I recall no long ago you were dissing her music.

Meh, a pop song can be fixed with the right arrangement.

#1 last week on local radio and the video was made at one of the most iconic venues in the world..

I don't understand why people cover songs that have been done so recently, especially when they are not a patch on the original, and the majority of covers are not.

Because they like the song and want to pay respects to the writer of the song.

I watched Radney Foster discuss this one night. He loves seeing his music get covered by others, and he mentioned that Keith Urban can sing all.of his songs whenever he likes..

He also mentioned the money doesn't hurt either..😉

You also could be seeing the results of a large record label.

They want to sell records and they take some, or all creative control of an artist.

Chappel has left her original record label and has gone independent. That gives her creative control.

Kaitlin just signed a major deal. This could have been their idea..Although Kaitlin is a fan of all sorts of music so I could see this also being her idea.

When she sang Karoke the other night, only one song was a country song. Most artists are fans of all sorts of genres of music..

More here..^

It seems there are a handful of covers she does every show (like many artists) and she decided to release 4 of them with a new version of one of hers on her first EP with new record label.

Or someone decided it for her..🤷

Chappel is taking a leaf out of Taylor Swifts book...good for her.

She writes/co writes most of her songs, so I don't blame her wanting them to sound the way she wants.

I can understand any artist wanting to sing the songs, it just seems pointless recording them and making videos, when a more successful artist has just done it.

But if Kaitlins record company wants to spend their money that way, it's up to them.

There are millions of people that have never heard Chappell Roan's version.

I don't think I have..I heard parts of the Pink Pony song. I think I might have heard it on the jukebox before, but I tune out most songs I'm not interested in..

There are also millions that love the song and will listen to another version of the song..

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

No doubt, record companies and producers are not going to throw money away.
Chappel gets played a lot here, I love her music....I do think her songs definitely grow on you the more you hear them.

Check out Subway.

I'm slightly addicted to these AI re-imaginings of songs.

Luke unalived himself a few years ago.

Apparently he had recorded quite a bit of never released music.

His estate (I guess) has put together and album and at least on video..

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

/\ To my untrained ear (in country music) he sounds a lot like Johnny Cash.

That is a Johnny Cash sounding song because he sort of slips in and and out of singing with some "spoken word " type of lyrics..

I know I posted this song already, but here is more of the back story.

I love seeing hardwork pay off..
