You know, some songs hit you right in the soul the first time you hear ’em.
‘Brother’ by Alice in Chains is one of those.

It’s a song about love, loss, and that bond that never really fades, even when the road gets rough or when someone’s gone.

We wanted to add our twist to this classic song... a country version, straight from the heart, as a tribute to the great Layne Staley, and to every brother, sister, or friend we’ve ever lost along the way. This one’s for them.

This is ‘Brother’ Canyon River style.

Brother

Alright y’all, here’s one you probably never expected to hear with an acoustic guitar and a southern twang! This is our country-style take on Rick Astley’s classic ‘Never Gonna Give You Up.’ We kept the heart of the original, that promise of never giving up on love, but gave it some new flavor with a little Kentucky soul. It’s our way of showing that even an ’80s pop anthem can sound right at home on a front porch with a cold beer in hand. Hope ya'll enjoy this country spin on a timeless tune!

Never Gonna Give You Up

Tonight, we’re taking you back to the dark, mysterious side of the ‘80s to the boardwalk, the vampires, and that unforgettable feeling of being an outsider.

This next one’s a haunting classic from The Doors, immortalized by Echo & The Bunnymen in The Lost Boys. It’s moody, it’s eerie, and it still hits just as deep today as it did then.

So grab your leather jacket, step into the fog, and let the strangeness take over…

This is our version of “People Are Strange.”

People Are Strange

Our version of “Black Hole Sun” pays tribute to the haunting genius of Soundgarden, a song that’s equal parts beauty and sorrow.

We wanted to capture that same eerie stillness, the storm before the calm, where every note feels like it’s reaching out from the dark.

This is our homage to Chris Cornell and one of rock’s most powerful anthems. Turn the lights down, turn the volume up, and let the shadows sing.

Tonight, we wanted to take a moment to honor one of the greatest rock legends the world has ever known, the late, great Ozzy Osbourne.

His music crossed generations, his voice carried both pain and power, and his songs spoke straight to the soul.

This next one’s a country tribute to one of his most beautiful and heartfelt tunes, a song about love, loss, and finding your way back home.

Ozzy, this one’s for you, brother.

“Mama, I’m Coming Home.”

Mama I'm Coming Home

Our Bluegrass Country rendition of “Creep” reimagines Radiohead’s haunting classic through the heart of Americana — where steel strings, warm harmonies, and the raw grit of a southern soul meet one of the most emotionally charged songs ever written.

Stripped down to its roots, this version trades distortion for dobro, and angst for honesty — capturing that same ache of alienation with a country storyteller’s touch.

Recorded live, straight from the heart, this is “Creep” redefined through the dust, the twang, and the truth of Bluegrass.

Our take on “Runaway” reimagines Del Shannon’s timeless heartbreak through a cinematic country-rock lens where stormy skies, echoing guitars, and raw emotion collide on the open road.

We wanted to capture that same sense of loss and longing, the feeling of chasing something you’ll never quite catch.

It’s a tribute to the sound of a broken heart, honest, haunted, and wide open under the rain.

We hope you enjoy it just as much as we enjoyed making it. Please be sure to follow us here for more of our music.

“Wanted Dead or Alive” Our take on the Bon Jovi classic brings a fresh country-rock edge while keeping the spirit of the original alive. Gritty guitar tones, open-road imagery, and a little Southern swagger come together to honor one of rock’s most iconic anthems. Saddle up and ride with us on this reimagined journey through steel horses and restless hearts.

Wanted Dead Or Alive

Wanted Dead or Alive

Our rendition pays tribute to one of the most iconic songs of the 1980s—a track forever linked with the unforgettable final scene of The Breakfast Club. Originally written by Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff, “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” was famously turned down by several major bands before Simple Minds reluctantly agreed to record it. No one expected it to become a generation-defining anthem, but its mix of atmospheric New Wave, emotional urgency, and that timeless closing fist-pump sealed its place in pop-culture history.

This cover is our way of honoring the song’s legacy and the film that elevated it. We approached it with deep respect for its spacious production, its hypnotic groove, and the emotional weight behind its message of being seen, remembered, and understood. It’s a privilege to breathe new life into a track that shaped so many musical memories—and we hope our version does justice to the spirit of the original.

Don't You (Forget About Me)

This song has always meant a lot to me growing up. It was one of those tracks that hit with this unstoppable burst of energy, tight drums, bright harmonies, and that incredible vocal interplay that made it feel larger than life. It was also a song where Phil Collins really stepped into a new spotlight. He was already known as a drummer and band member, but this track showed him as a fully formed pop force, confident, charismatic, and capable of owning the front of the stage. Paired with Philip Bailey’s soaring vocals, the duet became something electric: two completely different voices colliding in the best possible way.

For me, hearing this as a kid made music feel exciting and limitless. It was one of those songs that made you turn up the stereo and feel like the whole world was moving with it. Even now, it still brings back that spark of growing up and discovering just how powerful a great song can be and that's why we decided it would make for a great cover!
