Retro Single Review: George Strait, "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')"
1988 | Peak: #1
Strait’s fifteenth #1 single, and eighth in a row, was a cover of a #2 Faron Young hit from 1954.

Retro Single Review: George Jones & Alan Jackson, "A Good Year for the Roses"
1994 | Peak: #56
So, Alan Jackson is at the peak of his first wave of popularity, and he partners up with a still-potent George Jones to cover one of the Possum’s greatest singles.
I qualify that statement with “one of”, simply because “He Stopped Loving Her Today”, “The Window Up Above”, and “She Thinks I Still Care” exist, but in my personal opinion, the original recording of “A Good Year for the Roses” really is the best George Jones single.
Retro Single Review: Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, "Let's Make Love"
2000 | Peak: #6
An awkward attempt to recreate the magic of “It’s Your Love.”
