Watch Dixie Chicks Cover Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games” At Bridge School Benefit
This past weekend, Neil Young put on his annual Bridge School Benefit shows, raising money for education for kids with disabilities. These shows are special things, and special things tend to happen at them. We’ve already posted footage of Spoon covering Van Morrison and Ryan Adams improvising a song about a shirtless concertgoer. But the most surprising moment of the weekend didn’t come from those dudes. Instead, as Noisey points out, it came from onetime country superstars Dixie Chicks, who played a stripped-down, acoustic, twanged-out cover of Lana Del Rey’s breakout hit “Video Games.” They sounded pretty great! And who knows, maybe LDR has secretly been a country singer this entire time. Watch fan-made video of the Dixie Chicks version below.
No joke: I would happily listen to an entire album of that.
