Months ago, I put up a thread of which cover songs were better than the original(with about 300 replies), I guess I will be called a racist, for saying this version is better than the original.

Many agree with you as Luke's version is already #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Tracy's original climbed to #6 in 1988).

Ironically, keeping "Fast Car" out of the top slot is another country superstar, Morgan Wallen, whose "Last Night" has already spent 13 weeks at the top.

Not sure if Tracy has commented on the Luke Combs version of her song but he is definitely growing her bank account.

I like Tracy Chapman’s better. It’s kind of like “My Funny Valentine” where the song takes on a different nature depending on the sex of the singer.

First time I heard this version. It was ok but, Luke’s gonna a be check out girl?
2023 woke version?

Winner should have been Cash’s cover of Hurt.

Pop song review “Fast Car” by Luke Combs

It’s a good cover and I like it but it doesn’t really bring anything new to the song. I also find her voice more interesting than his, so overall I prefer the original.

I haven’t heard his version yet, but her version is heartbreakingly beautiful. Iconic.

I love Combs but I’d have to vote for Chapman, she definitely put a lot more feeling into it.
