Listen to This Country-Western Cover of Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball'

Although Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" video crushed Vevo's record for most views in an initial 24-hour period, The Gregory Brothers may have topped her -- at least in terms of song quality.

Coming hard on the heels of Cyrus' video debut, The Gregory Brothers -- known best for their "Songify the News" viral series -- have released a country-western cover of the singer's song.

In the clip, above, the band trades in Miley's pop-ballad sound for a twangier feel. While the video itself has an unfortunate lack of sledgehammer-licking, we'll admit the banjo, acoustic guitar and soft harmonies have us sold.

Who knew the guys behind "The Bed Intruder Song" had so much soul?
