Ben Earle, one half of British country band 鈥楾he Shires鈥� looks back at how the stars of Country music have covered Fab Four songs.

You'll be hearing rarely-aired Beatle rockers with a twang from artists like Rascal Flatts, Willie Nelson & Kris Kristofferson; Beatle ballads from Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris & Reba; and re-inventions of Beatle classics from Dolly Parton, the Zac Brown Band, Dwight Yoakam, Chet Atkins, the Charles River Boys and more!

And hear what happens when an actual Beatle teams up with a country legend to cover a Beatles cover that the country legend sang in the first place!

Don't worry - it'll make sense when Ben explains it to you!
