There's another song on that album I'd like to hear. She was recording some stuff with the front man for the white Stripes.[1] She didn't know he had a live mike in the living room outside the studio. She told him a story about when she was a little girl and her mother stole a pair of shoes for her because she couldn't afford any. Next she heard it, he'd put music behind it. The clip I heard, you'd never know she wasn't reading a poem someone had worked many hours on.


[1] I've noticed a lot of the older country stars are doing duets with the most unlikely people. And they're always good.
