Another Carrie Underwood Cover

I love Randy Travis. I mean this guy is pretty much as country as it gets, and his voice is just... well, nobody ever sounded like him before and nobody will ever sound like him again.

I was taken aback when I heard a cover of "I Told You So" on the country station here in LA. They would nevvvvvvverrrrr play Randy's version. It was very surprising to hear that song at all, and pretty much shocking to hear Carrie Underwood singing it!

My verdict? She's an incredible singer. It's an incredible song. She sings it well. But why - WHY? - did they have to suck the country right out of it? Steel guitars are GONE. That was the essence of the song!! I just cannot understand why the music on the radio HAS to be dictated by 17 year old girls.
