Apple Music is releasing a second edition of the Apple Music Nashville Sessions:Toby Keith Covered collection, once again celebrating Keith’s life and his undeniable impact on country music with an all-new slate of Keith classics.
The project features live covers of the icon’s catalog by Tyler Hubbard, Jackson Dean, Kameron Marlowe and Emily Ann Roberts. Recorded live in Apple Music’s Nashville studio, the covers reimagine some of Toby Keith’s biggest hits, with each artist putting their own spin on their track and honoring the late star’s lasting impact on country music. All covers are exclusively on Apple Music and include “I Love This Bar” by Hubbard, “I Wanna Talk About Me” by Dean, “How Do You Like Me Now” by Marlowe, and “Red Solo Cup” by Roberts.
Ahead of the release, each artist sat down with Apple Music’s Ty Bentli to chat about the project and share more about their personal connections to Keith. The Ty Bentli Show will air the full interviews with each artist throughout the week.
The project marks the second edition of the Apple Music Nashville Sessions: Toby Keith Covered collection as Hubbard, Dean, Marlowe, and Roberts join Ashley McBryde, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Parker McCollum, Riley Green and Tucker Wetmore in honoring the late country music icon.
“Like you said with Toby, I love that he not only was an incredible songwriter himself, but poured into the Nashville songwriting community and the writers around him and the people,” Hubbard told Bentli about covering “I Love This Bar”. “I think he understood the value of a song and the value of the songwriter. So, really a lot of respect and love for him for that for sure… “I Love This Bar” had not been done. And I was like, oh my gosh, how has this song not been done yet? So, yeah, pretty quickly I was like, yep, I want that song. That’ll be a blast. I’ve sung it for years anyways. So yeah, it was fun to bring it to life today.”
