Walker Hayes Challenges Little Big Town, Lindsay Ell & Kelsea Ballerini
Walker Hayes, #90sCountryChallenge
Singer-songwriter Walker Hayes’ newly released single, “90’s Country” is quickly becoming a fan favorite. In our exclusive interview with Hayes, we learned how therapeutic the writing process was for the singer, as well as, the creative and unique techniques used in crafting the perfect lyrics. The track encompasses twenty-two 90’s country songs, giving listeners a fresh take on some classic hits.
To showcase how special the song is, the entertainer introduced his Instagram followers to a new and fun challenge, #90sCountryChallenge, with hopes to incite country music stars and fans alike to join in. Hayes kicked off the challenge with his rendition of “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful” by Sammy Kershaw, encouraging fans to participate by tagging a friend to cover their favorite country song from the 90s.
