Rocker Aaron Lewis Of Staind is Going Country

Rocker Aaron Lewis isn’t leaving his band, Staind. And, he’s not leaving rock. But, he is going country, at least for a bit. Aaron says if you take all the songs he’s written over the years while sitting on his couch playing acoustic guitar, “you could have put a country accompaniment to them and they would have worked as country songs.” Aaron Lewis is about to put out a single called “Country Boy.”

What are your thoughts on this new country cross-over?  Does he stand a chance if he doesn’t plan on staying?
