Jelly Roll, Wilson, and Rucker were among the many country singers to cover Keith classics following his death in February at the age of 62 after a battle with stomach cancer. Since then, both the 2024 CMT Awards and the 2024 ACM Awards have staged their own tributes to the polarizing “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” singer in the months following his death.

“I had been covering ‘Should’ve Been a Cowboy’ for about a year now at most of my shows, just kind of honoring Toby as he was getting sick before he passed away. Then I really started chewing on, man, what better place to honor Toby than Stagecoach?” Jelly Roll previously told Variety.

“I’ve been covering the song and Toby’s son saw me at the CMTs and took me to the side and said, ‘Hey man, I want to let you know I’ve seen a video of you covering this song, and I think it’s one of the best versions of it ever. And I think you honor my father.’ And it just meant so much to me.”
