Some may see it as sacrilege that anyone but Childers recorded this song in the studio first, but apparently when Tyler’s label RCA asked who else could record the song, Childers specifically requested Elle King. “Jersey Giant” is a unique composition for Childers since it features a bridge within the verse/chorus structure. Luckily that is what is happening with Elle King’s version of “Jersey Giant,” originally written and performed by Tyler Childers some 10 years ago, but never recorded in the studio. Sometimes songs can create their own momentum, and no matter what Music Row focus groups are telling labels, the labels should listen to the fans themselves, and jump on board instead of getting in the way. “Fast Car” had the most increased radio audience for any song last week. As “Love You Anyway” sits at #15 on country radio and climbing, “Fast Car” sits at #21 right now, up from #28 last week. But his radio single is currently “Love You Anyway.” In this instance, radio is saying “screw it,” and playing “Fast Car” anyway. It’s #11 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100, and #2 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Right now, the Luke Combs version of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” is one of the hottest songs in all of music. Wallen’s version still went #15 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, and 4-times Platinum. This was another missed opportunity for a quality song to get mainstream radio attention. But if Morgan Wallen’s version of “Cover Me Up” had been released to radio, it would have been a #1 for Wallen, and a #1 for Isbell as a songwriter, and probably considered for the CMA Song of the Year. Say whatever you want about Morgan Wallen or Jason Isbell. But since doing anything in the country radio business is as arduous as turning a battleship around, his label couldn’t adjust on the fly and get the song to the radio format after he performed it on the 2015 CMA Awards. It’s the biggest song in country music in the last 10 years and is Certified 14-times Platinum. From A Room: Volume 2 was released in December 2017.įull Source : en.wikipedia.It’s still inexplicable how Chris Stapleton’s version of “Tennessee Whiskey” was never released as a radio single.
