It is such a talent laden family and I have been listening to two of the greatest talents of all time, namely Hank & Hank Jr. for the past 50 years. I cannot say how great it is too see that this family has produced another one of the all time greats in Holly! I hope she comes to Canada soon...

My son and I saw her Thursday night in Asheville with Jason Isbell - I've gotten so calloused about marriage and relationships - Thank you, Holly, for reminding me that there was a time when people loved each other like that. Maybe it does still happen... I was fighting tears and so was my 18 year old son. Pretty amazing when songs can touch multiple generations :-)

I grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee listening to your daddy, Waylon, Billy Joe Shaver, & still listen to them, I got in the truck last week & this song was in the CD player my boy had drove the truck that morning & I fell in love with this song... He told me who sang the song & who you were, so now I am a huge fan of Hank's daughter, you got something & I know your daddy has to be proud of your songwriting & singing..... The next generation of True Country is here, thanks Holly for keeping country in country.....

Holly, this really touched me. Your grandparents sound a lot like my own parents- and my mom is named JUNE also. They grew up not far from your own great- grandfather in McWilliams, AL. In fact, before my father passed away, he wrote a book about his childhood in Oak Hill, AL, and there is mention of Hank Sr. in that book. This was a wonderful reminder of their love story of 47 years.

I'm a Hospice Intern, and I have seen how husband and wives cope with their grief, when their loved one of __ + years passes away. It is a deep, sadness but it is filled with such grace; to have a love like that. Thank you for sharing your grandparents story in this beautiful song.

Your craft with your words is excellent. I can "see" this song clear as a bell and you tell such a poignant and complete story. The entirety of this experience we all face is so utterly overwhelming, joyful, sad, and mysterious yet you handled it with such grace in this song. Thank you very much for your art.

What a beautiful song and sentiment. Holly is monumentally talented and proof that musical talent gets better with every generation and age, much like a fine wine. Her lineage should be so proud of her because she's doing her own thing. I have monumental respect for her and I'm generally an alt-rock / British rock fan. She's my favorite country singer next to Shelby Lynne. It's nice when pure talent trumps commercial success concerns. -Troy
