>> I Can’t Stop Lovin’ You <> this beauty was written by Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Don Gibson [1973] <> Don decided to write a song about a lost love … halfway through he noticed he had used the line ‘I can’t stop loving you’ so he went back, made that the title and started all over again based on that line. It has been recorded over 700 times <> In 1957 Don recorded the original, which was released as the B-Side of Oh, Lonesome Me … the 45rpm was a two-sided hit <> Time to enjoy a nice cover by bluesy Help Me Make It Through The Night singer Sammi Smith in 1976

Leona Williams <> Tony Kerr
>> Alone With You <> written by Faron Young and Roy Drusky <> Faron’s original topped the Billboard Charts in 1958, stayed on the charts for 29 weeks and was the #10 song for the entire year <> Sierra Ferrell is a very unique 35-year-old singer, songwriter, and musician from West Virginia. She has pulled her music career up by the bootstraps gaining popularity gig by gig with a willingness to play anywhere from Coffee Shops to gymnasiums. Now she has made it all the way to the Grand Ole Opry. Albums are not her big draw … she is wildly popular with live performances … and surrounds herself with gifted musicians. She is a very talented entertainer with a remarkable stage presence who is not locked into a particular genre of music. Truth is, she is sort of a extremely whimsical chameleon in that she tends to perform music that matches the crowd … and wears outfits, sometimes bizarre, that reflect the same. I personally find her delightful, even refreshing … when doing traditional country; however, she does it really well as evidenced by her 2021 cover of Faron’s classic. Lastly, make no mistake … this interesting young woman is very serious about her work … the crowd always gets a banner show
>> Just Out of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms) <> this fine song was written by Pappy Stewart <> The original was by the Stewart Family in 1951 <> Tony Kerr and Leona Williams delivered a nice cover in 2013 [video] <> Note: there are numerous covers … and numerous terrific ones by greats such as Patsy, Jim Reeves, Solomon Burke, Tom Jones and on and on
