If you’re gonna choose to cover a song by The Beatles, you better bring it. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison came together in Liverpool in 1960, and the music world was never the same. The Beatles are easily the most famous and recognizable band in the history of music, and though there were only together for about 8 year (most people assume it was longer), they provided plenty of classic hits in that relatively short amount of time. One of their biggest songs that still has a lot of staying power in the modern day is “Come Together.” Released as a part of their 1969 project Abbey Road, the leadoff song of the album instantly connected with fans. Though the meaning of the song is up for interpretation (some say it’s political, some say it’s nonsensical), the melody and iconic chorus had even non-Beatles fans tapping their feet. And at one point, the track got the attention of country music superstar Lainey Wilson. Almost 60 years after the song was released, it’s found new life (not that it necessarily needed to) through a cover that was put out by Wilson as a part of her Apple Music Sessions release. As I stated earlier, covering The Beatles comes with a lot of pressure and expectations. Why cover a song – especially by the greatest band to ever exist – if it’s not going to contend with the original? Fortunately for Lainey Wilson, she’s never shied away from utilizing her powerful voice and country twang and applying it to a classic rock hit. She’s covered Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer” before, and she wasn’t afraid to tackle “Come Together” by The Beatles either. Here’s a short clip of it below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Apple Music (@applemusic) Wow. The full version of the song can be heard exclusively on Apple Music (sorry Spotify users), and I’d highly recommend you go check it out. Lainey managed to find a way to both honor the classic and put her own spin on it, and that’s the tricky end goal of producing a cover song. And Lainey Wilson fans were loving it: “Never heard a cover of this song that I liked. Until now.” “Awesome version of this song.” “This gem will live on forever in my playlist!” “STOP IT. This is magnificent.” “LAINEY! You need to do more covers! I’ve got goosebumps.” “Awesome remake. Everything Lainey touches turns to gold.” “Never thought I would like a remake of come together… amazing!” To be frank, I didn’t think I’d ever like a remake of the The Beatles signature song either. Lainey Wilson proved me wrong. We should have seen the cover being included on her Apple Music Session coming, since the country music star deployed it while she was playing at Country 2 Country at The O2 Arena in London, England earlier this year. If Wilson went to Beatles country and played one of their hits, she’s certainly got a lot of confidence in her version of “Come Together.” As she should… I’ve got a good feeling her version would be Beatles approved: The post Lainey Wilson Bravely Covers The Beatles’ “Come Together” & Fans Are LOVING It first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
