A Southern take on a rock and roll classic. This is AC/DC like you’ve never heard them before. Of course, most readers of this are familiar with Chris Stapleton’s powerful pipes. The 8x CMA Male Vocalist of the Year is one of the most talented musicians of our generation, proving himself as a prolific songwriter long before breaking out as a solo artist in 2015 with his critically acclaimed record Traveller. As of late, I’ve found myself in a deep dive listening to Stapleton cover classic blues songs in the 2010s, and it’s a goldmine. I have honestly had his version of “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World,” which was performed in 2019, on repeat, and have found a new fixation on his rendition of B.B. King’s “The Thrill Is Gone” as well. This dive into these cover performances by Stapleton has taken me to all corners of the internet and reminded me of another stellar cover he delivered after breaking into the scene. For this performance, Stapleton again ventures outside of the country music genre, putting his twang on a classic. Back in 2017, on the final night of Chris’ All-America Road Show Tour, Chris brought Brent Cobb to the stage for a tribute performance of “You Shook Me All Night Long.” At the time, Brent Cobb, a singer and songwriter hailing from Ellaville, Georgia, was opening up for Stapleton, and if you’re not familiar with Cobb’s work, then this is the perfect place to start. Cobb is responsible for penning many country hits, including The Steel Woods’ “Let The Rain Come Down,” and Whiskey Myers’ “Bar, Guitar and a Honky Tonk Crowd.” He even has songs cut by Luke Bryan. Similar to Stapleton, Cobb has a strong background in songwriting before focusing on his solo career as an artist. Cobb’s most recent record, Ain’t Rocked In A While, leans heavily into the rocking energy of Cobb’s live shows, and an AC/DC cover would fit right into that tracklist… However, this night in 2017, the two men made “You Shook Me All Night Long” entirely their own. The two did the performance in honor of AC/DC guitar player and founding member Malcolm Young. Malcolm passed away in November of 2017 after a lengthy battle with dementia. The original version of the tune highlights a rip-roaring guitar riff and Brian Johnson’s electric vocals. Stapleton and Cobb’s version is slowed down and sung more as an acoustic ballad, giving the classic tune an entirely new life. With both the men’s southern drawl seeping through the vocal delivery, the song is countryfied to the max. The song is silkily smooth on a listener’s ears as the harmonious paring of Stapleton and Cobb’s vocals washes over you. This version of “You Shook Me All Night Long” is far different from the original, but it’s still a heater.

Perfection. As time passes, it’s become abundantly clear that Tyler Childers has become one of the latest living legends in the genre. Undoubtedly a key piece of the independent and Appalachian movement that has swept country music over the past decade, seemingly everything he touches turns to gold. And despite the controversy surrounding his latest release, Snipe Hunter, back in July, Childers has proven time and again that he isn’t afraid to get a little weird with both his studio and live performances while simultaneously delivering some of the most boundary-pushing, captivating music in the genre. This has been shown a countless number of times throughout his career. Of course, you have his monster, traditional hits such as “Feathered Indians,” “Lady May” and “All Your’n.” With that being said, however, Childers has never been one to shy away from going for it whether it be on eclectic tracks like Snipe Hunter’s “Poachers” and “Dirty Ought Trill” or the entirety of 2022’s Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?, which features three separate versions of the record’s eight tracks. Another thing that has become clear over the years with the “Country Squire” singer over the years is his ability to cover nearly any song imaginable to absolute perfection. On his studio albums alone, he’s covered the likes of Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make It Through The Night” and S.G. Goodman’s “Space and Time.” In concert, however, he’s thrown a plethora of different legendary covers throughout the years ranging from Pink Floyd’s “Time” to Charlie Daniels Band’s severely underrated track, “Trudy.” For my money, however, his best cover is none other than his 2022 performance of Merle Haggard’s legendary 1968 single, “Mama Tried,” with the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir. Taking place during the 50th anniversary of Ace at Radio City Music Hall back in April 2022, Childers joined Weir and his band the Wolf Bros for a very Grateful Dead-esque jam session that consisted of both “Mama Tried,” as well as “Turn On Your Love Light,” “Lady With A Fan” and “Terrapin Station” throughout the epic, 34-minute performance. As for “Mama Tried” itself, it’s nothing short of perfection from Childers. There’s so much to be said about him as an artist, from the aforementioned songwriting ability to his important role in the indie movement. With that being said, one aspect of Childers as a musician that has continually flown under the radar is his vocals. Sure, they might not wow you the way someone like Chris Stapleton can on his patented vocal runs. However, Childers has the unique ability to adapt to any song from any era. Much like his contemporary, Charley Crockett, the Kentucky native has one of those voices that truly feel timeless, and it’s displayed perfectly on this iconic Haggard track. And, of course, Weir and the Wolf Bros are nothing short of fantastic, effortlessly transitioning from song to song with ease throughout the performance. If you’re a fan of Childers and Weir, this is a must-watch.
