On Sundays when I work at the diner, my boss plays the top 40 country countdown. I don’t get country music. I appreciate the talent involved, and the sentiments expressed in the songs, but it doesn’t really do anything for me.
\nWhat I do find interesting is the number of songs that I know that have been either remade, or made first as country songs. There is “I’ll Always Love You” sung by Dolly Parton. There is a group that sings a BoyzIIMen hit “I’ll Make Love to You”. Yesterday I also heard Dolly Parton singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” and it sounded a bit better that the original.
\nBut there was no excuse for what I heard next. Faith Hill singing Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart”. My boss told me she released that in the early 90’s which shows how much I knoew about country music. But oh no, you don’t remake Janis Joplin. You don’t turn classic hard rock hits into country. I wanted to ask “hasn’t anyone who was in on this adaption even heard the original?” I almost threw something at the radio. Aye yiy yiy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
