Reba McEntire vs. Darius Rucker — Country Shootout Remakes

This week we are going to focus on the best remakes of songs in country music. We see artists bring back older songs all the time and make them their own. More times than not, the remake is usually better than the original. But sometimes the original is better than any remake could ever be. This week we will feature artist like Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Jo Dee Messina, The Oak Ridge Boys and Garth Brooks. Today Reba McEntire goes up against Darius Rucker.

Reba McEntire has released numerous #1 hits of her own. Back in 1991 Reba released a remake of Vicki Lawrence's 'The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia'. It peaked on the charts at #12. When Vicki Lawrence released this song in 1972 it made it to #1 on the charts. Here are both versions.

Darius Rucker, originally with Hooty and the Blowfish, came over to country music and hit the ground running. He has produced numerous #1 hits and just recently released a remake of a song called 'Wagon Wheel'. This song was originally sang by The Old Show Medicine Show. It was actually originally written by Bob Dylan, even though it was never officially released. Old Show Medicine Crow was the first band to officially record and release this song. Darius Rucker has a version of his own with Lady Antebellum singing as a duet. Here are both versions.
