Kelly Clarkson‘s Kellyoke segment is a fan favorite on her daytime talk show, and she’s been kicking it up a notch with her covers recently. The allegations seem to be true that there’s nothing Kelly Clarkson can’t sing, and she’s proved that once again with a rendition of Hank Williams’ 1949 classic song “Mind Your Own Business.”

The son was also covered in 1986 by Williams’ son Hank Jr., along with Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, and Reverend Ike. It was released on Hank Jr.’s Montana Cafe album, and found success on the charts, hitting No. 1 on the country charts for two consecutive weeks.
Dressed in a cool vest and jeans combo, Clarkson took the stage with her band for the lively country rendition. Her version is definitely reminiscent of a classic honkytonk jam, and she’s been getting plenty of practice with country songs over the past few months. She’s performed George Strait, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, and even duetted with Lainey Wilson on her new song “Country’s Cool Again.”
