Nice cover. A bit boring but she has a good voice.

Very nice cover. It's a mix of country and pop. They kept it simple with a fine backing outro. They didn't try to out BB the BBs...wise move.

One of the better GOK covers I've ever heard.
Better than Mandy Moore's anyway

Nope. There's no country in there, since she doesn't want to be labeled as a country singer.  You'll have to ask her what the mix is of. |

I like her version a lot, but with so many other great and less known (and under-appreciated) songs in the Beach Boys catalog it's kind of a shame people seem to always cover the same few.

I heard a bit of this on TV the other day. Not bad at all - it's hard to go too wrong with such great material to work with.

I second you on that Paul. But since Big Love used GOK as theme song for the series the choice of cover was easy The version was one of the better as it didn't try to copy BB version as someone already stated! //RD |

uhhh, it's ok. Nothing really special that I hear. definitely not country, it's all a pop song. which isn't a bad thing at all. Reading the description, I kept waiting for the "bleating organs" but what I heard was, I thought, Guitar all the way....

I think I only like it because it is one of the few Beach Boys covers that didn't make me cringe. I mean, it is good, but how many of us are going to download this song from itunes? Is it really that good?

This is certainly far less interesting than Mandy More version.  |

One of the better re-recordings i heard. She has a amazing voice and i like the pedal steel guitar in the song.

I really like the Dixie Chicks. They are of a dying breed in country/folk music, unfortunately. Their last couple of albums have been really good, far surpassing Nashville's usual standards of 2 big singles and a bunch of filler. The three of them are multi-instrumentalists and their harmonies are quite pretty. Their songwriting skills are not too shabby, either so I don't know why they chose to cover "God Only Knows" though I'm not displeased with their cover version.
Natalie Maines did a great collaboration with Neil Diamond called "Another Day That Time Forgot" which is worth seeking out.
