Tanner Usrey laying down a Koe Wetzel cover.
Leading up to Tanner Usrey hitting the road with Koe Wetzel, Tanner is getting into the touring spirit by jamming out to “Love.” If you know anything about Koe’s catalog, you know that this duet with Parker McCollum is one of the best sad country songs out there…which makes us oh so incredibly happy.
The duet with the two Texas natives hit you where it hurts, and with Tanner Usrey being a sad song connoisseur himself, it makes for a perfect cover choice. Hanging out in his bedroom, Tanner pulled out his guitar and recorded a little snippet of him singing the song.
“Was it an accident
When a broken heart and a bullet mark is all that she left?
To ask if I give a damn, should be out of the question
Don’t ask me no question ’cause
I don’t love you
Selfish don’t love nobody
And I can’t love you like you should be loved.”
Tanner belts out the words as he strums his acoustic, drilling the sad words into your head as they leave his lips. As someone who personally loves “Love,” and Tanner’s sound, this is a match made in heaven for my ears.
I hope that Koe pulls Tanner out on stage to sing this one while they are boppin’ around on the road together. Talk about a helluva treat for the crowd if that happens.
While I’d die to see clips of these two performing “Love” together, Koe’s recent Instagram caption would also lend itself to a one-of-a-kind show.
“Playing nothing but 80’s Billy Joel covers in California this week, y’all come catch a show and drink some cold pop with us.”
I know he is kidding, but now the idea is in my head and I’d LIVE to see Koe cover some Billy Joel. Fire up a little “It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me.”
