“I ain’t got a dime in these ol’ wore-out jeans/so I’ll stop eating steak and go back to beans,” the narrator laments. The song, originally cut back in 1951 by Elton Britt and the Skytoppers, romanticizes the wandering life of a cowboy, but makes sure to reveal some of the hardships, from loneliness to empty pockets. “If I Ain’t Got You” (Orchestral Version) by Alicia Keys featuring Queen Charlotte’s Global Orchestraīoth albums are now available to stream or purchase, and a vinyl version of the soundtrack is slated to be released later this year.Stan Jones wrote one of Western music’s signature songs, “Ghost Riders in the Sky.” But it’s another Jones composition, the restless “Cowpoke,” that Colter Wall interprets on his upcoming album, Western Swings & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs.“I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston Cover)”.“If I Ain’t Got You” (Alicia Keys Cover).“A Feeling I’ve Never Been” by Kris Bowers.The Bridgerton covers tracklist is as follows: Bowers’ first original song for the Bridgerton universe that he wrote with Tayla Parx appears on the 8-track album, which also credits Brian Chan, Caleb Chan, Vitamin String Quartet, and Audiostation.
