I recently attended a Church service where many old hymns, gospel and Christian songs were being played and sung. When I heard one that had my eyes welling up with tears. I heard the clear and distinct voice of Vince Gill and the other I thought might be Carrie Underwood. The song was 'How Great Thou Art' and I'd never heard it before. I thought to myself "I've got to get my hands on that version." In my humble opinion this is the best version of this song I have ever heard, nothing else gets close. Give it a listen and see what you think.

She covered Pistol Annies‘ ‘Hell on Heels,’ musing that the song was requested by multiple people — and likely because she was in Texas. Texans love their Miranda Lambert, who’s one third of the Pistol Annies. Clarkson is also a close friend of Lambert and a native Texan, like her blond pal, so it was the perfect cover song.
