about

Dave loves Lyle Lovett and Townes Van Zandt and these kinds of Texas writers and thought this would be a great one to do with Paula, who had agreed to be on the record. The song is so simple, a “strophic form” with the same melody repeated, fertile ground for reharmonizing and adding interludes, but also easy to wreck by adding too many harmonies. We are also big Emmylou Harris fans and the way this came out reminds me of something that could be on “Wrecking Ball.”
