In short, this is one of the most beautiful three chord songs I've ever heard. So I wanted to cover it for quite a few years. But since there was a male part in there, I just wasn't sure what to do with it, or how to approach it, so it went of my radar again.
In any way, this song was written by Townes van Zandt and covered by several artists. Personally I had heard it from the Broken Circle Breakdown Bluegrass Band (it appears on the soundtrack of the Belgian movie 'The Broken Circle Breakdown). But last week I bumped in to Emmylou Harris' version, performed as a duet with Don Williams. It was especially after hearing their version that I thought of Bill, thinking it would suit him just perfectly. I'm sure many of you know what a gorgeous voice and great playing skills he has. Our cover is also very much based on their recording. I took it a whole step down though to match the range of my voice a bit better. For Bill it was all good.
I certainly have to give him the credit and thank him in a major way for putting it all together (video, audio, other instruments, the latter was a very pleasant surprise! :cheer: ), I certainly couldn't have done it myself. :S
As you can imagine, we surely hope you'll enjoy it!
