Meghan Linsey, formerly of the duo Steel Magnolia, has recorded a country version of the OneRepublic hit "Counting Stars" and released it to country radio. Country versions of pop hits have mixed results in country music, ranging from good (Jack Ingram's "Lips of An Angel" and Reba's "Because of You"), to strange (Alabama's cover of *NSYNC's "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You). In fact, this isn't the first time a OneRepublic song has had a country remake. Luke Bryan covered "Apologize" for his Doin' My Thang album, and did a pretty good job on it. The key is to stay true to the original, but make it your own and make it distinctively country. Meghan does a knockout job with her rendition, making it one of the most unique songs on the radio.
