Cover Girl [Vinyl]

Inspired by talks with his 13 year old daughter, Jolee Kate, about powerful female artists, singers and songwriters, Aaron Watson is proud to deliver COVER GIRL. A bold move for a Texas based artist steeped in the roots of country music, COVER GIRL’s eleven genre bending cover songs go from Dolly Parton and Rosanne Cash to the Pretenders and Lady Gaga, with Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow and Taylor Swift songs thrown in for good measure. In addition to Sixpence None The Richer’s Leigh Nash, each song features an emerging female vocalist/artist who Aaron knows and respects or has performed with. All of the women that grace the album bring a distinct sound and style to their respective songs. When combined with Aaron’s steady country voice, the guest vocalists help make COVER GIRL a unique collection where the listener will find something that they know and love. Aaron Watson is the first independent male country artist to ever debut an album at #1 on the Billboard Country Album Chart, a feat recognized by an exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame. He has earned a litany of prestigious awards, hundreds of millions of streams on his music and tours relentlessly as a headliner while also sharing the stage with a host of country music’s legends and greats. With more than a dozen studio albums under his belt and just shy of one billion collective streams, Aaron is exceeding major-label-sized metrics while maintaining his independence, further galvanizing his “Texas country’s reigning idie underdog” (Rolling Stone) brand and shows no signs of slowing down. “The country crooner with heart-filled lyrics” (American Songwriter) is currently captivating audiences across the United States on his Roughstock Road Show tour which will continue through the end of 2023.
