Aaron Watson celebrates female country artists who influenced his 24-year career. Today, the Texas singer-songwriter released a music video for “Seven Year Ache,” a duet with musician Jenna Paulette. The song is a cover of Rosanne Cash’s 1981 classic.
Watson’s new album “Cover Girl” features gender-swapped versions of songs by Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and other inspiring women. Watson is eager for listeners to hear “All Through the Night,” a song by Cyndi Lauper and Jules Shear that he performs with Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer.
“The lyrics are very poetic and so mysterious — that’s something I love personally as a writer,” Watson told HuffPost. “You know something’s going on, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Rosanne, she knew what she was doing.”
He also performed Taylor Swift’s song, “Never Grow Up,” with his 13-year-old daughter. A release date for the tribute album has not been set.
