I mean you still look like you're in Mumford and Sons.

Probably been said before, and probably not unpopular on MB, but the Johnny Cash "Hurt" cover isn't that mind blowing. It's fine.

I have never heard either version of "Hurt" but "Everybody Hurts" is dumb as ****.

I agree. The original is better.

Unpopular opinion: Alice in Chains only have a couple of good songs. Somehow they've come to be considered "classic" over the past 30+ years, but overall they're just a tepid cock rock band in deep denial about their true nature.

I've voiced this opinion recently but if you dig the Rolling Stones country stuff you should just listen to country instead cause rock bands injecting country into rock are generally way worse than country artists injecting rock into country (f.ex. Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings).

I think it's a good cover..but his cover of the mercy seat by Nick Cave is better.

Cash and Jennings are great, but also typical entry level country fare for rock fans like yourself. The stones' stuff that borrows most heavily from American roots music doesn't even have that much in common with those artists.

I think the stones' appropriation of that stuff mostly goes over really well. But you'd have to have a very narrow palette of country records to think it's in the same category as the artists you mentioned.
