I went dwelling that night time and placed on Bonnie Raitt’s Home Plate, and determined I used to be going to attempt to write ‘She Talks to Angels’ for her. ‘Let Her Cry’ was what poured out of me. These guys have been so impactful on my profession and I can’t wait to share the CMT stage with them.”
