I agree, MG’s version of that song is better. Kenny doesn’t have the voice for issue songs (although I think he nailed “That’s Why I’m Here”, but that was back when his voice was a lot different).

I love Montgomery Gentry’s “Some People Change” and when I went to find it on iTunes discovered Kenny Chesney had originally recorded it. Prefer Montgomery Gentry’s version for sure.

The version I enjoy best of “Making Memories of Us” would be the songwriter’s – Rodney Crowell. You can find it on the Notorious Cherrybombs project that came out just before Keith Urban turned the song into a #1.

I don’t think “I May Hate Myself In the Morning” could ever be touched by anyone other than Lee Ann Womack.

I heard Jamey Johnson sing “Outlaw Women” in Renfro, KY and he killed it…an amazing performance. He can sing any Hank Jr. song with the best of them.

Playing the flip side — songs that should NOT be covered — I don’t think ANYone else than George Jones could do “He Stopped Loving Her Today” justice. Actually, the same could go for a lot of George Jones songs.

The Jake Owen song “Ghosts” was set aside for some time by Kenny Chesney but couldn’t find an album for it to coincide with. I’m not sure how well that song would’ve done as a single from Jake but I love the lyrics and it’s haunting sound. Kenny probably would’ve made it a surefire #1.

Luke Bryan’s version sounds like Gomer Pyle covered it.

You can also hear a kind of smirk in Billy’s voice that’s especially endearing in “Good Directions.”
