Gone Country: Crossover Crooners

When Alan Jackson sang about a Vegas showgirl eying Nashville's greener pastures in 1994's 'Gone Country,' he chronicled a process that goes back to Tony Bennett's cover of Hank Williams' 'Cold, Cold Heart.'

Snoop Dogg

The rapper has dedicated his latest song, 'My Medicine,' to Johnny Cash. He also presented at the CMT awards and found a kindred spirit in Willie Nelson. (Whatever they have in common, Snoop admitted that he smokes more of it.) The duo even recorded a duet of 'My Medicine' in Amsterdam; the video also features Brad Paisley and Julianne Hough.
