“I heard this song for the first time over ten years ago when I was listening to the deluxe version of Emmylou Harris’ Luxury Liner. I became obsessed, started covering the song at my shows but also tried to find out everything I could about the songwriter herself.
In the serendipitously magical way that music works, I not only found out about the story behind the song, I ended up becoming friends with the songwriter herself, Laurie Hyde-Smith.
It’s been ten years in the making but I’m finally sharing my own version of this beautiful song story.” - Michaela Anne
