By coincidence, we were listening to this band last night (the band is called “I’m With Her” and they called themselves that before Clinton adopted it as a campaign slogan, is the standard disclaimer) and this morning I was trying to listen to them in the car but Google Play on mobile didn’t have their albums formatted correctly so I just threw on “songs” on “shuffle”. And this song came on, and I was like, why… do I know… this song…
and I had completely blocked out that circa 2001 I had a housemate who was super into modern non-commercial country, and so probably listened to John Hiatt a lot (it took me a fair bit of Googling just now to find him), and maybe Steve Earle covered this song, I don’t know. This housemate of mine was never super good about telling me who was who, and the Internet of the day, well, you could download anything but you had no guarantee anyone ever labeled it right. One of my favorite songs of that era, I never did find out who really recorded it; it said Steve Earle on it but there’s no way that was his voice. But, anyway. We’re not here to talk about LimeWire and the early Internet era.
It’s a beautiful song and even more haunting when sung by an all-girl trio that doesn’t change the pronouns, is what I’m saying (though it’s confusing because it mentions the woman’s ‘husband’ but also calls her ‘my baby’ so like)…
Anyway. Enjoy, this is lovely. And if you like it, look in the related videos, there’s a live performance by this same trio of Adele’s Send My Love To Your New Lover that is both incredibly faithful and extremely beautiful.
