Phil Elverum records as Mount Eerie. He put out an album in 2017 about his wife dying of cancer when their daughter was a year and a half old. The album is an emotional journey and not one I put on often because of the subject matter.

His wife, Geneviève Castrée, was an artist in her own rightincluding writer/illustrator. I knew that she had worked on a children’s book for their daughter after the cancer diagnosis, I did not know that it had been published.
I let my son pick books each week from the library. We come home with a stack and read a new book each day. Sometimes there are surprises and lessons to be learned but today’s took me by surprise. Call it lack of sleep or vulnerability while in my son’s nursery.

Every now and then I need to hear this.
How has this thread evaded me all these years? So many compelling songs and interpretations.
Back on page four (Bonnie Raitt & John Prine) ... one of the best versions of Angel from Montgomery. This one is a bit different (Tedeschi and Trucks) - Susan weaves into a chorus of Sugaree toward the end, and Derek's solo is out of this world:

One page back (Richard and Linda Thompson - Dimming of the Day). Bonnie Raitt commented that when she sings this song it has to be the last one of the evening, as she's totally spent after that.
Speaking of Richard Thompson (simple boy meets girl story ... complicated by a motorcycle):

OK, it's really long, but I think it's worth it.

It's hard to top Patsy Cline, but wow
I'm totally in love with Rhiannon Giddens.
