Music Who’s Ready for Adele’s Country Album? Besides Me, Kelly Clarkson and David Nail? by Alison Bonaguro 3/9/2015 When I think of “country” and “Adele,” I think of David Nail because of his country version of “Someone Like You.” Embedded from www.youtube.com. </noscript> </div> Putting his country spin — not to mention all that piano — on an Adele hit was just intoxicating. So to say I’m ready for Adele herself to do something a little more country is a huge understatement. Mark Davis/WireImage And it sounds like I may not have to wait very long. Like maybe it’s actually already happened. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kelly Clarkson let the world in on this secret. Larry Busacca/WireImage “One of the big problems in music, and I think it’s turning around — with Pink coming out with her thing she did with Dallas (Green), Lady Gaga is showcasing her voice and doing the more Broadway aspect, and even Adele I heard is doing something more country influenced with this next record. The more artists do that, the more open-minded people get and the less formulaic it will sound,” she continued. I’m all for open-mindedness and less formulaic music. What’s your take? Does country have room for another strong female voice? Alison Bonaguro Alison makes her living loving country music. She's based in Chicago, but she's always leaving her heart in Nashville. @alisonbonaguro
