Cody Johnson has hinted at a possible collaboration with fellow country star Lainey Wilson, and it’s got fans buzzing. During a recent chat with Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton, Johnson revealed his long-standing desire to work with Wilson on a cover of a classic country duet.
Johnson mentioned that he plans to go duck hunting with Lainey Wilson's boyfriend, which led him to suggest recording a cover of Loretta Lynn's "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" together—a project they both support but haven't yet completed.
The original “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” a duet by country legends Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, topped the Hot Country Songs chart in August 1973 and even snagged a Grammy nomination for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. If Johnson and Wilson take on the challenge, it could bring a fresh twist to a beloved classic.
Both artists have been incredibly busy lately. Wilson just dropped her new album, Whirlwind, while Johnson’s hit single “Dirt Cheap” is currently climbing the charts. Interestingly, Johnson mentioned that Luke Combs had initially been offered “Dirt Cheap” before Johnson claimed it, a testament to the song’s wide appeal.
As fans eagerly await more news on this potential collaboration, one thing is certain: the combination of Johnson and Wilson covering such an iconic song would be a must-hear moment in country music.
