Comment:

Who'd be crazy enough to follow America's greatest singer onto his home turf and try to beat him — or at least play for the tie — at his own game? You'll be surprised by the answer. With a pedal steel playing sweet and sad underneath, Gram Parsons introduces Haight-Ashbury to the heartland — and country to rock — in the Byrds' version of the two-steppin' tragedy "You're Still On My Mind." Aaron Neville injects the "The Grand Tour" with a double shot of soul, wrapping up the tear-stained travelogue in a blanket of hurts-so-fine hopelessness. And roots-rockers the Blasters rough up the edges of "Window Up Above" with a bluesy, fuzz-soaked Strat and a snare-snappin' backbeat strut. But don't stop there; from Van Morrison's version of "Things Have Gone to Pieces" to Teddy Thompson's remake of "She Thinks I Still Care" to Ray Charles' live rendition of "The Girl I Used to Know," your favorite artists — and not just ones who call Nashville home — have long been jonesing to sing Jones.
