Listen to this reimagined classic first during this Taste of Country exclusive.

The kickoff to Kenny Chesney’s the Big Revival Tour was a marathon of hits and surprise guests. It was one of those shows where if you looked down for a moment, a loud roar from the thousands of fans around you would snap your attention back to the stage in anticipation of another cameo or another unforgettable moment.

Bush Hawg just couldn't get over that last win and make it to the Hall of Fame, but a good run for those guys.  They just ran into a young lady with a lot of fans in Alexandra Lee.  Riding high on her first win in the Country Whuppin', she faces Uncle Kracker's latest country single.

Uncle Kracker may not be a reality television star, but he certainly could give 'Biggest Loser' contestants a few pointers. The rapper-turned-country artist recently dropped a whopping 70 pounds.

You may have never heard the name Shane McAnally.  He's one of Nashville's great, creative minds that gives us big hits through songwriting.  There was a time that he had a promising country career himself, but for whatever reason, it didn't pan out.  Right now, McAnally has several hits on the charts keeping him relevant in the music world.

Brett Eldredge has made it to the Country Whuppin' Hall of Fame with 5 wins!  That leaves the door open for two new songs to go for the win on today's Country Whuppin'!  They are 'I'll Keep The Kids' from Montgomery Gentry and a new one from Uncle Kracker called 'No One's Sad On A Saturday Night'

There are very few people in the world that can say they've had a number one country hit.  Some can say they got there thanks to being a guest on someone else's single.  But hey, however you get there, right?  These are the folks lucky to say they've had a country number one thanks to being featured in a single.
