I've heard Craig Morgan's current single, "This Ole' Boy", a lot over the past couple of months or so; it's a great song and I like it a lot.
It got me to thinking about another version I like also; by Joe Nichols. While Morgan has the single on radio in 2012, Nichols' CD, "It's All Good" was released in November, 2011, with "Good Ole' Boy" as one of the tracks.
Of course, this isn't the first time more than one artist has had a song out at the same time. Billy Currington had a hit with the song "Good Directions".
The song was written by then newcomer, Luke Bryan, who also included the song on his debut CD.
A while back, LeAnn Rimes was supposed to sing, "How Do I Live", from the movie, "Con Air". However, after it was recorded, Disney decided they wanted Trisha Yearwood to do the song instead. The result was, LeAnn's version of the song was released to pop stations, while Trisha's went to country radio.
Throughout history songs have been recorded, and rerecorded by countless artists. These are just a few samples of this, narrowing it down to songs that were also recorded around the same time. I'm sure there will be more in the future.
