UMGHunter Hayes, The Band Perry and Zac Brown Band are among the artists covering songs from Elton John’s classic 1973 album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. The new recordings are included on a deluxe box-set re-release of the project along with b-sides, bonus tracks, live performances and a 1973 movie, Elton John and Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye to Norma Jean.

Hunter performs the title song on the project while Zac Brown Band sings “Harmony.” The Band Perry turned in a bluegrass version of the song, “Grey Seal,” which ended up being a pleasant surprise for Elton. He says, “I never thought of doing that in a million years.”

Pop star Ed Sheeran, rockers Fall Out Boy and R&B star Miguel are among the other stars on the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road box set.
