A country artist named, Sturgill Simpson covered Nirvana’s, In Bloom.
I never thought I would hear Nirvana, country style. I am hearing this song in a totally different, but beautiful way.
Sturgill was just in the news for another reason, which I will let you discover yourself. I don’t want to take away from this song, but dang man…he got a new fan in me.
Here is the original:
What do you think of this cover?

Amazing rendition of a classic rock tune. This is beautiful, enjoy.
@immortal_pirate I will check these out later. Thanks for the shares.
They tear it up with a Wilie Nelson classic.
LOL! Great cover. When it first started, I was like whaat? Great video to include in this thread. It’s always about the music, not the costumes.
I dunno if anyone will ever do a cover though of this song that will ever come close to the original because the grunge energy is, to me, what really pounds that song
Liked the country version. I used to live out west and had a job where there was a lot of driving and used to listen to country because that is mostly what was available between the cities and loved the way they told stories that I could understand.
@spitfire3dc I heard the line:
He don’t know what it means, no, to love someone…and I thought, dang; I never heard that line…well it’s because Sturgill added it. It fits though.
I shouldn’t be that surprised to hear a Nirvana song stripped down, since Nirvana did it on their Unplugged session.
Check out more of Sturgill’s music. He is good man. I love this song and video:
