Joe Nichols
One of the standout tracks on Joe Nichols‘ new album, Never Gets Old, is a country rendition of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s 1992 hit “Baby Got Back.” Nichols teamed with Sir Mix-A-Lot for a video of the new rendition, which premiered Monday (July 31) and quickly earned more than 1 million views on Nichols’ Facebook page and was later picked up by Buzzfeed, driving the clip to more than two million views overnight.
“He’s a really cool guy,” Nichols told MusicRow of first meeting with Sir Mix-A-Lot and getting his stamp of approval on the song. “He said, ‘I love this version of the song, and the reason is because it’s your song. You took it and covered it nothing like me so I respect it because you basically just used the words.’ I thought that was a really cool compliment.”
