Ella Langley - "Cover Me Up" - ft. Morgan Wallen - (Live At The Ryman) - Nashville, TN

Originally written and recorded by Jason Isbell for his acclaimed 2013 album, Southeastern, ‘Cover Me Up’ has since blossomed into one of the brightest jewels in Morgan Wallen's glistening crown.

Morgan covered the track while out on the road in 2018, which resulted in a sea of fans clamouring for the Sneedville native to release a studio version of the introspective, soul-searching ballad.

He obliged in April 2019, and after releasing ‘Cover Me Up’ as a single, the vulnerable track was then confirmed as appearing on Morgan Wallen's record-breaking 2021 double-album, Dangerous.

Now, ‘Cover Me Up’ has become a mainstay of the ‘Last Night’ hitmaker's setlist, with Morgan's stripped-back, intimate performance remaining one of the most moving moments in his live shows.

Nonetheless, the fact that Morgan Wallen - who is perceived by many as the face of modern mainstream country music - decided to cover a song penned by one of alt-country and Americana's ‘purists’ didn't sit well with some members of Jason Isbell's fanbase.

A few months after the release of the new version of ‘Cover Me Up’, Isbell tweeted his support of Morgan's decision to cover it, “Guys it’s really cool that Morgan Wallen is singing my song. That’s what I’m trying to say. Everybody just relax. You’re about to have to deal with your family at the holidays. This isn’t a thing to stress over”.

However, after Morgan Wallen was caught on camera using a racial slur, Jason Isbell took to Twitter again to share that he'd be donating all the royalties he receives from the ‘Thought You Should Know’ songsmith's version of ‘Cover Me Up’ to Nashville's branch of the NAACP.

Now that Morgan Wallen has propelled ‘Cover Me Up’ to an entirely new level of popularity, with his take on the track having been certified four-times Platinum, fans repeatedly discuss and debate whose version should be considered the ‘best’.

This debate is taken more seriously by some than others, as Parker McCollum found out when he teasingly referred to ‘Cover Me Up’ as ‘the Morgan Wallen song’.

But as far as we're concerned, with a song as affecting and powerful as Jason Isbell's ‘Cover Me Up’, adding Morgan Wallen's stellar, inimitable vocals into the mix and giving the track a chance to reach swathes of new fans is never going to be a bad thing.
