Ever wondered what it might sound like if someone like "Pentatonix" covered Country Music?

Wonder no more.

All vocal group, "Home Free," has released a cover of Travis Tritt's classic, "It's a Great Day to Be Alive."

Look, it's not that I'm against acapella music-to the contrary-I really like it and am intensely jealous of the singing talent of the people who do this.

That being said, I like my Travis Tritt to be a little bit more "gritty" than this. I feel like I'm listening to some kind of bizarre audtion for a CMT reboot of "Pitch Perfect."  So, it's not for me.
