Craig Campbell and radio personality Bobby Bones had some fun recently with a cover of  Lorde‘s pop smash “Royals,” covering the song country style with Bones’ band the Raging Idiots. The song was released on iTunes earlier this week and features an accompanying video that has already logged over 50,000 streams in the past few weeks.

All proceeds from the fun-filled remake will benefit the Humane Society.

John Prine will have his own spotlight exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum opening Nov 15, which will feature instruments, manuscripts, and other mementos spanning Prine’s 40 year-career as a singer/songwriter.

“John Prine: It Took Me Years To Get These Souvenirs” traces the singer’s life from his stint on the Chicago folk circuit where he met Kris Kristofferson, (who helped him get a record deal), to his early 80’s Nashville years founding Oh Boy Records and his Grammy win in 2005, and everything in between and since.

The exhibit is located within the museum’s permanent exhibit on the second floor, and will run through May 2014.
