Jelly Roll, Wilson and Rucker were among several country singers who covered Keith's classics after his death in February at age 62 after a battle with stomach cancer. Since then, both the 2024 CMT Awards and the 2024 ACM Awards have held their own tributes to the polarizing “Should've Been a Cowboy” singer in the months since his death.
“I had been covering 'Should've Been a Cowboy' for about a year at most of my shows, just honoring Toby as he was getting sick before he died. That's when I really started to chew, man, what better place to honor Toby than Stagecoach?' Jelly roll previously he said Variety.
“I covered the song and Toby's son saw me on CMT and he pulled me aside and said, 'Hey man, I want to let you know that I've seen a video of you covering this song and I think it's one of the best versions ever. of. And I think you honor my father.' And it meant so much to me.”
