Seven Nation Army

The Oak Ridge Boys swap their classic country-gospel for a little "Get Behind Me Satan" with this White Stripes cover fully directed at a new, and probably bloggy, audience. But while at first glance it has all the major warning signs of a quick ironic tweet, it doesn't take long to realize that it's a winning performance of a great song. The Boys' briefly dark barbershop vocals are dead-on and the looming piano has a sinister dark-basement vibe about it—there's even a pretty serious guitar solo. These guys are used to singing about heaven, but this is a surprisingly striking glance the other way. The group's new album, "The Boys Are Back," also includes covers of John Lee Hooker, Neil Young and Ray LaMontagne. —Jeff Vrabel
