November 27th 2020

Most versions of this classic track are more upbeat bluegrass style. This version is an beautifully heartfelt ballad interpretation, with a lovely uplifting gospel vocal arrangement toward the end of the track.  

The instrumentation by the tracking crew is stunning, underplayed and gentle to accompany sincere vocals from Aly. The song is lead-in with lovely yearning violin from George Washingmachine.

The Asquith Session no.3 was recorded simultaneously with Cook’s latest album ‘Caught in the Middle’, which has met with critical acclaim and 3 top 10 Airplay hits including a #1 with the lead out track ‘Red Dirt Road Trip’.
