Yes, it's a great cover, they really do it justice.
I really liked their first couple of albums, then there was the "Stay in the Dark" single, which was the start of their transition to pop. Unfortunately I think that was a bad move. They didn't have the large support base of the likes of Taylor and Keith Urban which would go with them. Then, nothing. I did hear that they went back to country music and playing smaller shows as they tried to work their way back up. It's such a shame as they were on a really good trajectory with those first two albums.
I did see on their wiki page recently that Kimberley (on her own) had done some new music and a follow up to If I Die Young. I've still got to hunt that out.
The type of pop they were doing was not something I liked, so I had stopped listening after the transition. I have all of the country in my collection though. Hopefully they'll be back with some more!

What are good examples of country phase vs pop

I've got nothing against the group for experimenting, but the last two just aren't the type of music I enjoy!

That is a very different sound

Yes, it certainly was a major change.
