Hey nauts!
I bet nobody knows that Beyonce Knowles Carter "went country," right?
(ducks)
Discogs has reminders; some very good, some not so good, some that made me lol.

I'd argue that the only "essential" albums on that list are Ray Charles' and Dylan's. Declan's is spotty and I haven't heard the rest. Had no idea Dude Looks Like A Lady did a country album.
My fave "Declan Goes Country" tune?
This one, which makes me laugh my ass off. For "reasons." 😎
And this one; talk about curveballs.
Gene and Dean were sued by Vangelis over the main melody of "Japanese Cowboy," btw.
