Emotions will definitely run high after hearing Lee Ann Womack take on the Vern Gosdin’s classic “Chiseled in Stone” for the Forever Country Cover Series.
The track drowns itself in sorrow over the negative end result of a fight between two lovers, in which they realize nothing good can come of their opposing ways within their relationship. Pulling completely at the heartstrings as one of the most painstaking songs in the history of country music, Womack does the theme justice through her longing vocals that channel the depth of depression that the storyline ensues.
Set alongside an acoustic guitar and a fiddle, Womack exudes the melancholy spirit that Gosdin once did with his rendition of the country classic. Leaving any viewer of the video with absolute chills, Womack’s well-known voice captures the desolation regarding the lyric.
