Okay, this needs saying.

If you're going to be a country artist, then you need to stay true to the damn genre. Don't pussy out and pepper your show with a bunch of rock cover songs. There is no doubt they are going to play better to the audience. At the root of it, no one really likes country and given the choice they will always gravitate to the rock music. That's why you're playing the damn rock songs. You know you suck, being a up-and-coming country star. So you sprinkle your show liberally with songs people will actually recognize and try to get some buzz from the audience.

But lay off the damn AC/DC! Some things are sacred.

I mean Christ, are we really supposed to fall for this shit? Okay, I get it. The chick has no recognizable hits of her own. Yes, you're a frustrated musician, stuck playing in a support band for a no-name female country singer from back water Saskatchewan. But Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick, don't offend my sensibilities by thinking this crazy broad is gonna do a cover of Thunderstruck!

Luckily cooler heads prevailed but my point still holds true. If you wanna be a country singer, then sing your stupid, god damn country music. Leave out the rock music and have some god damn integrity, for once in your pathetic career.
