Brad Paisley is a man of his word. The hitmaker told rising country star Sarah Darling -- who narrowly missed the chance to move on in 'Rising Star' -- that she could share the stage with him at the Grand Ole Opry, and the two singers did just that on Friday (July 18).
Sarah Darling is a rising country star in Nashville, so it's only fitting that she would audition on the debut of ABC's new show 'Rising Star' on Sunday (June 22). And judge Brad Paisley had a very strong opinion on Darling's performance.
I was watching Criminal Minds a couple weeks ago and heard this song. I recalled that the Beatles had released it in 1968 and remembered this version that someone had sent to me. I am surprised that this was never released to radio. It is an amazing cover of a great song. Sarah Darling does a wonderful job with it.
Sarah Darling‘s version of the Beatles‘ ‘Blackbird’ finds the young singer at her lilting best. The country newcomer cut the song as part of the ”Let Us In’ Nashville – A Tribute to Linda McCartney’ charity album, which was released last November. ‘Blackbird’ was Darling’s first choice.
