Cody Johnson’s ‘Travelin’ Soldier’ is Undeniable Required Country Listening

Cody Johnson can drop stone-cold country covers like his life depends on it. The Texan with the golden drawl has gone viral with an amazing version of the Gary Stewart classic "She's Acting single (I'm Drinking Double)," and set the internet ablaze.

But do you guys remember when he uploaded an updated version of the Bruce Robson penned "Travelin' Soldier," and here we go again. That man has an amazing voice.

“Travelin’ Soldier” became a radio smash off of The Chicks’ 2002 sixth album, Home. It wound up being the sixth single and final No. 1 from that masterful record in 2003. And Johnson certainly does the song justice.

Johnson's voice is just so damn powerful and so contained all at once. The instrumentation on this mix of Gary Stewart's only No. 1 smash, “She’s Acting Single,” is phenomenal. That steel guitar and fiddle is next level. Listen here.

Cody Johnson will return home to Texas later this year with his first-ever headlining stadium show. The East Texas native is bringing Jon Pardi to the party at Globe Life Field in Arlington coming up in November,
