The blues album in question, 1993's That'll Work, teamed the band with blues player and Chuck Berry pianist Johnnie Johnson. This partnership reconvened a decade later for Meet Me in Bluesland, an album featuring this cut, "Stumblin'," "King Rooster," Superman Blues" and other blues-rock numbers.
The band's inability to choose a genre or decade to mirror comes through in its cover songs. In this case, a Roger Miller hit starts off sounding a little like Johnny Rivers' version of "Memphis, Tennessee."
This cross between raucous rockabilly and Brooks & Dunn-style modern country wasn't quite as far removed from the mainstream as other selections on this list. For even more rockabilly swagger, check out "Dixie Fried."
In another case of a county cover becoming a cross-genre odyssey, the band made what is best described as original writer Don Gibson meets Dire Straits.
The Headhunters' various rock and country influences expanded to include the South of the Border flavor of Marty Robbins for this Pickin' On Nashvillealbum cut.
Something is charming about a bunch of Kentucky pickers covering Bill Monroe, as heard on the very first track on Pickin' On Nashville.
Backed by bass playing that puts most funk-rockers to shame, Phelps adds an uncouth spin to jokes about young'uns looking suspiciously like the neighborhood milkman.

Another great collision of worlds takes boogie-woogie southern rock to the Ernest Tubb and Travis Tritt school of barroom anthems.
The obvious top pick among the band's original composition taught the whole country about a marbles-playing roadside tavern owner in rural Kentucky. What could've just been a regional sensation had a massivehand in those Grammy and CMA wins.
