Country Musician Releases Cover of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”
Country musician Chris Stapleton has released a cover of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.” You can listen below.
The cover will appear on The Metallica Blacklist, an album that “celebrates the enduring influence of Metallica with an unprecedented 50+ artists spanning an unbelievably vast range of genres, generations, cultures, continents and more, each contributing a unique interpretation of their favorite Black Album cut.” That includes multiple other covers “Nothing Else Matters,” including one by Miley Cyrus, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Chad Smith, and Robert Trujillo, and one by Phoebe Bridgers.
The collection also includes covers of other Black Album cuts by artists such as Corey Taylor, Volbeat, Weezer, Biffy Clyro, Ghost, the Hu, and more.
All profits from every track on The Metallica Blacklist will benefit Metallica’s charitable foundation, All Within My Hands, along with a charity of each artist’s choice.
The collection comes out September 10 and can be pre-ordered here in a variety of formats.
The original “Nothing Else Matters” recently reached a billion views on YouTube. Meanwhile, a reimagined version of the song appears in Disney’s recently released Jungle Cruise movie.
