Lainey Wilson has probably had a better year than just about anybody.
From winning the CMA for New Artist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year, to making her acting debut as Abby on Yellowstone and releasing a new album Bell Bottom Country, she has absolute kicked ass…
Which brings me to her cover of Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”
A few years back, she covered their hit as part of her PNC Live Sessions feature, and she of course put her own, country spin on it that is absolutely perfect.
Written by guitarist Brian May, it was included on their 1978 seventh studio album Jazz, in addition to being released as a single, and it peaked at #11 on the UK Singles Chart and #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.
Even here, her effortless talent is so obvious, and she has some incredible stage presence that has clearly helped her become one of the brightest up and coming superstars in mainstream country at the moment…
