Before moving to Nashville, he was lead singer of a cover band called Cody Belew and the Mercers. One of his most memorable Voice moments was his cover of “Somebody to Love,” by Queen.
Cody is back with his take on a Dwight Yoakam classic, “A Thousand Miles From Nowhere.” It is very evident that he was inspired by Classic Country. His voice is perfectly suited for this type of music as well. Cody’s version is more bluesy than the original. He also does a great job at paying homage to a Country icon with this release. He captures the emotion of the song perfectly with this cover.
