Zach Top and Lainey Wilson Team Up for Johnny Paycheck Cover
Get your cowboy hats ready, because Zach Top is taking the country music scene by storm with his traditional honky tonk tunes. This Nashville newcomer has rolled out hits like “Sounds Like the Radio” and “I Never Lie,” making him a rising star in keeping the spirit of old-school country alive. And guess what? He’s got the endorsement of none other than Lainey Wilson.
Lainey, who’s become a household name with her “Bell Bottom Country” vibes, recently bagged Entertainer of the Year at both CMA and ACM Awards. As if that isn’t enough, she’s on her own headlining tour, naturally titled Country’s Cool Again. Lucky for us, she invited Zach to join her on the road, adding more musical firepower to the mix.
During her concerts, Lainey has been belting out a nostalgic medley of classic country hits. These include legendary numbers like Hank Williams’ “Hey Good Lookin’,” Loretta Lynn’s “You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man,” and Randy Travis’ “Forever and Ever, Amen.” Talk about a trip down memory lane!
As if that wasn’t enough star power for one night, at a recent show in Huntsville, Alabama, Lainey and Zach delivered an outstanding cover of the Johnny Paycheck classic “Take This Job and Shove It.” The song, penned by David Allan Coe, became an iconic hit for Paycheck, reaching #1 on the charts. They nailed it, bringing a touch of history to their modern-day crowd. Want to witness it yourself? Check out the performance—it’s country gold.
