Stephen Wilson Jr. Releases Stellar Cover Of Nirvana’s “Something In The Way”

Leave it to Stephen Wilson Jr. to take one of the most popular grunge songs ever and turn it into an incredible, countrified cover.

Good lucking finding someone as talented and unique as up-and-coming country music artist Stephen Wilson Jr. He’s previously been referred to as “Death Cab for Country” since he draws inspiration from indie rock, grunge and obviously country music. And in this cover, he perfectly blends all of those together to deliver a stellar cover of the Nirvana song “Something in the Way.”

For a little bit of background information, the track “Something in the Way” was written by Kurt Cobain and featured on Nirvana’s second and most recognizable album: Nevermind. Released in 1991, the song was the final track listed on the album, and never really found space in the grunge band’s live concerts. The song benefited from a second wind when it was featured in the 2022 superhero film The Batman.

Now, it’s arguably getting a third life as Stephen Wilson Jr. adopts it and releases a studio version cover of the track. The talented 46-year-old artist had previously posted an acoustic cover of the song on his official YouTube page about a year ago… which had fans clamoring for a studio version.

Wilson Jr. was evidently listening to those requests, and surprised fans when he sent this announcement out earlier this week, along with a clip of a live version of the song that he and his band recently played at Red Rocks:

“Studio version of ‘Something in the Way’ øut Friday everywhere you listen to music.”
