I don't know who in her band or entourage encouraged her play this cover live, but I like it.
The only thing I can think of remotely like it is Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones teaming up on the Foreverly album. Which is very good, by the way.

I'm surprised you find this kind of stuff 'unusual'. I'd say it's been a feature of our irony laden, post-modernist pop scene since the 90s when you had bands like Corduroy doing jazz funk versions of Motorhead and, a little later, Nouvelle Vague doing bossa nova versions of punk classics.

It's unusual that the thread is in Canon Archive.

This is a very unusual cover. Because it's a house artist (well microhouse) doing a black metal cover of a novelty acoustic black metal song, with a bit of Rihanna's "We Found Love" mashed in. Taking post-whateverism to a new level. The rest of the album is house covers of black metal songs.

Not strictly analagous: what you describe is bands covering songs from other genres in their own style, while what we've got here is a country singer doing a version of a rock/metal song in a fairly faithful rock/metal style. |

Ah...fair enough. I did assume it was a country track because it has something about Nashville in the video title. Sloop's post makes more sense now. |

Louis Armstrong covered Pharoah Sanders. It's like finding out Frank Sinatra covered Kendrick Lamarr.

It's unusual that the thread is in Canon Archive.  Yeah, I posted it quickly this morning. Don't worry, it will be gone by tomorrow. |

I never thought I'd see a new country artist like Carrie Underwood doing Motorhead. Next, Travis Tritt doing Sparks' Beat the Clock. |
