When Madonna covered "American Pie," I was like, "what the hell is she thinking, f***ing up this classic song?" (I love Madonna too, but the version was just f***ed up) But then I heard Don McLean say that that cover was like the best present anyone ever gave him-- because it made him serious amounts of money, that he really needed at the time. That was when I started rethinking the ethics of cover songs.
Chill out and take your blinders off, PlanoEast. A great song like this one can't be ruined unless the artist puts together an arrangement that isn't true to the feeling of it - and Tim McGraw did NOT do that. A LOT of artists don't write all of their own songs and still do a damn fine job interpreting and performing well-written songs like this one. Tim gave this song extra exposure to those who may not have otherwise heard it. A deep bow of thanks and respect to Ryan Adams for writing it.
You have to read this!! you won't believe it!!! don't stop now!! make a wish - - - - - - - . . . . . Now that you have your wish it will happen! in exclatly 4 days. just copy this and paste it to 4 videos!! only one wish use it wisely and it WILL HAPPEN!!! but if you break the chain your wish will be the opposite

Nashville performs very rarely ever perform their own material if at all. It's a good song and he does it well.

No one is forcing you to watch this video. Dont like it? Turn it the fuck off!
I like this cover a lot. The piano adds a lot to it. By far the best.

You guys realize that NOBODY writes their own music right. Bono and the Coors even have a cover of this song.
Tim McGraw's version is by far the best and most popular version of this song ever.

We know Ryan Adams wrote it and I am sure he was compensated, so would everyone SHUT UP about who wrote it.

People shouldn't make a big fuss about other people's music. The original artist is not complaining.

Mark, I totally agree with you. I thank Tim McGraw for exposing this song to me. I love it! Thank you RYAN ADAMS for writing it.
