On October 7, 2010, Band of Horses released a cover of Cee Lo Green ‘s ” Georgia ” via their official website. Ben Bridwell said, “This began as a very random idea I had on my dad’s patio after we watched our beloved Georgia Bulldogs football team get robbed of a win at the hands of the referees and LSU last year. This song is so nostalgic to me as my parents grew up in Atlanta and have so many family members in the great state of Georgia . It’s always been a second home of sorts. We’ve played some great shows there as well, including our run of annual New Year’s Eve shows in Atlanta from 2007–2009.” The cover version Bridwell referred to is Cee Lo’s version of ” No One’s Gonna Love You “. The two tracks were released together as a 7-inch vinyl split single .
