Dozens of country songs were hits before they were hits on country radio. Sure you know about “Bless the Broken Road,” “Landslide” and “Wagon Wheel” but did you know one of Brooks & Dunn‘s biggest hits was a pop smash in 1973?
You did? Well then, smarty pants, test your knowledge in the quiz above! We’ve picked 10 less obvious country covers that were turned into hit songs by some of Nashville’s biggest stars. Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line all borrowed from someone else’s catalog to reimagine songs made famous by someone else first.
This isn’t easy. If you get more than half you should consider yourself a country music expert. If you know eight or all 10, you’re the cowboy version of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. Of course if you want to cheat by watching the video below, which has the answers, you can … but you wouldn’t do that, would you?
Let us know how you did when you finish! We’re offering free atta-boys and back pats to anyone who gets more than six right.
