Dan + Shay Post Acoustic Cover of Country Star Sam Hunt's Smash Hit "Body Like A Back Road"

Dan + Shay are not just country music artists, they are also fans of country music, playing short cover songs by artists from Kenny Chesney to Old Dominion and Luke Bryan, and many other stars in between. 

The duo made a great decision when they decided to cover the first verse and the chorus of country star Sam Hunt's smash hit "Body Like a Back Road" on February 14, 2017, as the YouTube video currently has racked up 247, 557 views.

In this clip, Dan Smyers played his acoustic guitar and sang harmonies while Shay Mooney was on the piano and sang the lead vocals. This performance felt like a jam session with the guys just letting loose and having fun, which I really enjoyed! 

At the time, I think Hunt was trying his hand at making rap music, but also wanting to make the track sound country. The rapping comes across mostly in the song's verses. The duo made it sound like their own with Mooney showing off his vocal range and not making the verse sound like he was rapping while Smyers showed off his smooth harmonies.

This upbeat, sensual, romantic track is very catchy. I hope that one day, Dan + Shay release a full studio version of Hunt's number one hit. I think it would be cool to hear their take on entire song!
