On the evening of February 13, 2025, something magical happened at Sidetracks Music Hall in Huntsville, Alabama. Under dim lights and surrounded by the warmth of Southern soul, Ella Langley and Taylor Hunnicutt stepped onto the stage and delivered a hauntingly beautiful rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon” that left the entire room breathless.
This wasn’t just another cover—it felt like a revival. The way these two Alabama artists came together, it was as if the spirit of the song had found new storytellers.
Ella Langley, known for her bold blend of outlaw country and gritty rock, brought her signature fire to the performance. Standing alongside her was Taylor Hunnicutt, whose bluesy, weathered voice added a raw emotional depth that could quiet a crowd with a single note. When they sang together, their voices wove around each other effortlessly—soulful, stirring, and steeped in Southern charm.
There were no flashy lights or gimmicks—just two women in black denim and boots, letting the music speak for itself. From the first note, the crowd was captivated. Langley’s fierce delivery of “She rules her life like a fine skylark” sent chills, while Hunnicutt’s soulful response, “Would you stay if she promised you heaven?” echoed with heartbreak and power. It was more than a performance—it was a shared moment of storytelling, rooted in grit, grace, and reverence for the past.
The room fell into a kind of hush that you don’t often see at live shows anymore. People weren’t on their phones—they were fully present, soaking in every lyric, every harmony. And when the final note faded into silence, the applause wasn’t just loud—it was emotional. You could tell everyone knew they’d just experienced something rare.
What made this performance so special is how Ella and Taylor brought “Rhiannon” home to the South. They didn’t just sing the song—they lived in it, giving it new meaning with their Alabama roots and fearless authenticity. It wasn’t about copying Stevie Nicks—it was about honoring her while channeling their own voices, their own stories.
This moment couldn’t have come at a better time for either artist. Langley, riding the wave of her rising career, is quickly becoming a voice for strong, unapologetic women in country music. Hunnicutt, known for her soul-baring songwriting and emotional honesty, is carving out her own space in Southern Americana. But on this night, none of that mattered. It wasn’t about careers or headlines. It was about heart, harmony, and honoring the music that shaped them.
For one unforgettable night, “Rhiannon” wasn’t just a song—it was a spell. And in Huntsville, two Alabama women cast it flawlessly.
