I've long said "That Look" by Aaron Watson would've been huge if it had been covered by Blake Shelton back in his Honey Bee era - before he sunk into the abyss of hellishly boring music
Or what about "Diamond In My Pocket" by Cody Johnson, if Tim McGraw had covered it?
Don't go me wrong, I think Aaron and Cody both nailed these songs. But had these been recorded by a bigger star (at the time), I think they have what it takes and they could've been huge. (Imagine if Blake did That Look instead of the syrupy Sangria?!?)

“Daddy Had a Beer” by Josh Thompson would be a huge smash for anyone with a radio name.
God, Luke Combs would make this the biggest hit of the decade

Because it's fresh on my mind, but I think Tim McGraw could've turned Chase Rice's "Three Chords and the Truth" into a smash. I feel like that song would've been right in his wheelhouse and it would have been a much better delivery from Tim and gone over much better.
I'll have to think of others cause I'm drawing a blank.

I think that if Clay Davidson's "I Can't Lie to Me" had been given to Montgomery Gentry around 2003-04 when they really started to hit their stride, then it would've been huge.
(I also wonder why Clay was the only artist besides Julie Reeves who didn't make the transition from Virgin to Capitol.)

Joe Nichols Edition:
"The Shade" as done by Alan Jackson
"If I Ever Get Her Back" as done by Tim McGraw
"Another Side of You" as done by Tim McGraw, with Faith Hill providing harmony
"As Country As She Gets" as done by George Strait. But also I think it could have been big if he'd have released it as a single himself
"Honky Tonk Girl" as done by Toby Keith
"Let's Get Drunk and Fight" as done by Toby Keith
"It's All Good" as done by Billy Currington
"This Bed's Too Big" as done by Billy Currington
"Who Are You When I'm Not Looking" as done by Blake Shelton ;)

Closer to Nowhere by Pickler would have been HUGE if sang by any of the Aldean/Bryan crowd.

(I also wonder why Clay was the only artist besides Julie Reeves who didn't make the transition from Virgin to Capitol.) I talked to Clay a few years back on Facebook. Apparently , he was in a pretty nasty bus accident & the label shut down while he was still recovering. That debut was flat out awesome though. |

Love Joe Nichols. She Only Smokes When She Drinks was a decent sized hit
But imagine Keith Whitley on that.......

I'd love to hear Eric Church do "Don't Ask Me How I Know" or "Man Like Me" by Bobby Pinson.

Miranda singing "Church Clothes". Ooo, that would be interesting! I have always imagined Faith Hill getting her hands on "Church Clothes". Obviously it wouldn't have been huge if she had recorded it in its actual time period, but if she could have put it on her Fireflies album or something I imagine it could have been a big hit back then! |

Things You Can't Do in a Car by Due West. I saw a friend who lives in France was still listening to that one on Spotify a few months ago.

Pat Green - Country Star
Someone younger would’ve been a good fit for this song. Complete ear worm. Someone like Jimmie Allen

Shoutout to sabre14 for tweeting this throwback out, had to go listen again. Logan Mize - Can’t Get Away From a Good Time And the verdict is, it’s a jam, and if Chase Rice had it, it would have smashed. Fits him perfectly. Too bad he stopped doing that kind of music |

Just reminded myself how good this is and may fit George Strait's style. (Where is he now though?)
