Well I can't sing country and I'm no Ashley McBryde but I thought I would have a go at an Ashley McBryde-esque lyric and this is it!

If an original is acceptable for the CountryFest.

Underrated

My momma says you are famous
In Swindon Town
She says they know your name
All around
And me I'm just poor and
Unappreciated
Me I'm just tired and
Underrated

My momma says I should sell my songs
And let someone else sing em
My momma says I should cut my hair short
And lose some weight
My momma says you are doing well
And she's going to your concert
My momma ain't never seen me play
Any place

And me I'm just poor and
Unappreciated
Me I'm tired and
Underrated

My momma says you're the real deal
In Swindon Town
And it must be such a big place
Swindon Town
And me I'm just poor and
Unappreciated
Me I'm tired and
Underrated

My momma ain't never seen me sing
In front of 400 people
With everyone laughing and crying
Till their cheeks ache
Well who, who's laughing now
And who, who's crying now

Sorry, no.

Remember, "Covers" is covers only, and "Originals" is originals preferred but covers welcome unless otherwise stated in the festival's description.

  • 21st Century Songs - Covers of songs released from 2000-2021.
  • Country & Western Covers - Covers of songs in the classic American genre.

We had an Original Country & Western Fest in 2015. Maybe we'll do it again someday.

Cool song, Hilary; good lyrics (true or not?) and you have sung it very well. You're certainly not underrated in my book BTW.

this is great.  I would love to get up a full band version of this, if you can get me a vocal isolated track and a uke part without vocals I'd be happy to make a go at it.  I'll practice up some country licks on my Fender Telecaster.   Twaaaaang.

If MyIdolIsJahia around maybe he could do some slide.

I do have an unmix plugin that could unmix your vocal from the uke, if you don't have separate audio stems for them.

Boy, those lyrics are quite the dichotomy to the jauntiness of this tune. Super well done.

Really enjoyed this, lyrics feel like they have a good chunk of heft behind them but it's still easy to get caught up singing along to it, really good rhythm carried throughout
