The crowd was thrilled when Rock made his way out on stage and joined Chesney in a duet of “Cowboy,” which Rock released as a single in 1999. But their collaboration didn’t end there. Rock and Chesney had one more song in store for fans, and this time it was a country classic.
Singing An Iconic Country Hit
“You Never Even Called Me by My Name” was released by David Allan Coe in 1975 and became his first Top Ten hit. It ended up peaking at the eighth spot on the charts in the U.S., and the fourth in Canada. It has since earned a status as a country music staple.
