“Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her” has quite a story behind it.
Originally written and recorded by Dean Dillon in 1980, it took a few tries before becoming a chart-topper. Keith Whitley gave it a go in 1985, but it wasn’t until the King of Country himself, George Strait, released his version in 1986 that the song skyrocketed to fame.
Fast forward to May 2024, and Zach Top breathed new life into this country classic.
Fresh off the release of his sophomore album Cold Beer & Country Music, Top’s recent rendition just proves his undeniable talent.
Seated on a barstool with trees as his backdrop, Top strummed his acoustic guitar, delivering a beautiful rendition of “Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her.” Top was clearly meant to sing this song. It’s no wonder the YouTube video has racked up over 200,000 views – and counting!
If this cover is any indication, we might just be witnessing the rise of country music’s next big star. Fans certainly believe so! Many left raving comments under the video:
