In a move that bridges genres and redefines boundaries, country superstar Morgan Wallen has teamed up with Amazon Music for a bold reinterpretation of the brooding 2014 alt-rock track “Graveyard Whistling,” originally by English band Nothing But Thieves. Available now exclusively on Amazon Music, this Amazon Music Original gives fans a deeply personal, country-tinged take that proves Wallen’s artistry continues to evolve in thoughtful and compelling ways.

Wallen’s version strips away the haunting alt-rock edges of the original and replaces them with a raw, acoustic framework steeped in country soul. The result is a rendition that feels both familiar and entirely fresh, anchored in emotional storytelling and laced with the kind of vocal depth that has become a hallmark of Wallen’s sound.
While the original painted its story with moody electric guitars and dramatic tension, Wallen’s version leans into vulnerability. He wraps the lyrics in a weathered Southern drawl, giving the song a sense of lived-in authenticity. It’s country storytelling at its best: introspective, cinematic, and intimate.
This release marks yet another standout moment in Wallen’s already storied career. With 19 Billboard Music Awards to his name, he continues to surprise fans with unexpected moves like this. His take on “Graveyard Whistling” isn't just a cover, it's a reinvention that showcases his ability to bring entirely new meaning to a song through the lens of modern country.
In addition to the digital release, Amazon Music will offer a limited edition 7” vinyl of the track, available September 19. Pressed on Shadow White vinyl and featuring original artwork, the physical release includes “Dark Til Daylight” as the B-side, a pairing that captures Wallen’s ability to walk the line between brooding and hopeful. Preorders are now open exclusively in the Amazon Music app, giving collectors and fans alike something tangible to hold onto.
As streaming exclusives become more commonplace, Wallen’s “Graveyard Whistling [Amazon Music Original]” stands out not just for its platform partnership but for its bold artistic transformation. It’s a reminder that great songs know no boundaries—and that great artists are unafraid to cross them.
Listen to the track now on Amazon Music, and stay tuned for the vinyl release this fall.
