Carrie Underwood has been known to pull out a few classic rock tunes as covers at her shows, and she has even done duets alongside rock legends like Axl Rose.

During a 2023 appearance on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM, Underwood leaned into her rock-loving side for a high-powered cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”

The performance has a sentimental feeling after Osbourne’s death on Tuesday (July 22).

Before launching into the song (watch below), the country star explained that she began digging into rock music in her teen years, much to her mother’s dismay.

She found something she loves in classic rock.

Although her career led her to country, she takes times to cover her favorite rock songs when the mood strikes, and her powerful voice shines on this 1991 classic.

Underwood’s cover stays mostly true to the original track, starting off relatively quiet in the first verse. The intensity in her voice is present from the beginning, however, and she begins to showcase the full capacity of her talent as she moves through the first verses and explodes into the first chorus.

The track continues to become more challenging as it races towards the end, but unsurprisingly, Underwood tackles the high, drawn-out notes with ease.
