During a recent visit to the Grand Ole Opry's Radio Replay series, Ashley Monroe delivered a gorgeous cover of  "Bartender's Blues," a song made famous by George Jones.

Monroe said the country classic sums up everything she loves about the genre.

"I think this song just has all of the good country song feelings in it that I love about country music," Monroe said.

Monroe's crystal clear voice lends itself perfectly to the timeless tale of a lonely barkeep longing to break free while still beholden to their surroundings.

"Bartender's Blues" was originally written and recorded by James Taylor for his 1977 album JT. Jones covered the song the following year, selecting the song as the title track for his 1978 album.
