Rascal Flatts & Tom Cochrane "Life is a highway" - Dan Riggs Remix

Tom Cochran's original version of "Life is a highway" is one of my all time favorite songs. I was wondering for years who would try to cover the song. That answer came in 2006 when Rascal Flatts did. I immediately remixed the two songs together and created this version for the Country Music Station K102. They compliment one another very well and now I can't listen to either one of the versions without the other. Chris Carr is a friend and was a local Minneapolis DJ on K102. He now hosts a morning show on WUBE in Cincinnati.

Dan, Life Is A Highway is one of my favorite all-time songs too. I've heard a few remakes of it but none caught my fancy until Rascal Flatts covered it for Cars. The remix of Rascal Flatts and Tom Cochrane gets a high five from me and is added to my video downloads.

Great Job!!!!!

I only knew the "Canadian" version, who was Tom Cochrane. No offense, but there was no improvement made. Tommy NAILED It!! Immitation is the best form of flattery, n'est pas?

Fab mix here! Obviously, when Walt Disney Co. called up Rascal Flatts to do classic Tom Cochrane for Cars, Flatts had no answer to Cochrane's harp (probably a Hohner "bender" 10-hole diatonic in F - I recently purchased a Hot Metal, P/N 572-F, at Guitar Center for a MuzikDriven gig) at the time. This is a "best of both."

i like them both it doesnt matter which 1 you like as long you like the song

Both versions are great, but Tom Cochrane's original is untouchable. Immediately, I go back in time to the 1990's. It still sounds fresh IMO, and one of the greatest songs in the history of music.

I can listen to this song over and over again, and it's always amazing!

And this remix is sick!!

Cool, thanks for sharing. Tom Cochrane's original is great, the RF cover is pretty good too!

The Rascal Flatts version is a lot better and way more upbeat!!!

It's sad in a way no one knew of Tom Cochrane before this single I was a big fan of Red Rider and I have copies of Mad Mad World and Ragged Ass Road both great albums..and of course my favorite Victory Day...In my opinion he is one of the most underated singer song writers there is...YOU THE MAN TOM...

@VermontExplorer As far as I'm concerned, NO ONe can come close to even "touching" Tom Cochrane!!!
