Do you ever feel like country music can get a bit, well... samey? Are there moments when you wish that they could switch it up just a little tiny bit and try something new sonically? We don't! We absolutely love it just as it is.

But just in case all that twang ain't your thang, we've collected together 100 of the best not so country artists covering country songs old and new, all playfully reimagined in a multitude of styles.

So, if you love a country song but it sounds all wrong, then maybe this is the playlist for you. Whether it's the White Stripes covering Dolly Parton or Me First and the Gimmes Gimmes taking on The Chicks, we've got something for everyone's taste in our Holler playlist of the Best Cover Versions of Country Songs.

It's time to decide once and for all, who sang it best? George Jones or Aaron Neville? John Michael Montgomery or All-4-One? Dolly Parton or Robbie Williams? Okay, some are easier than others.
