Thank y’all for the support and kindness! Unfortunately I don’t have the time to respond to everyone personally, but I appreciate each and everyone of you.

Shannon Jae:
My wife died some years ago - she drank herself to death - driven by all the torments she couldn't put aside. I can only guess at how you came up with this song, but you told our story as if you were there. Thank you. I will follow you always, hoping that one day I can say this face-to-face.

Understanding the context of this makes this song one of the most touching, beautiful, and brutally sad songs ever written

My poor sister, i can not look at your face in the video wo crying. I try just listening to the song and I still couldn’t do it. You’re so strong when you sing this song. Deep breaths is what it takes. THANK YOU for sharing this with us

It's cool to see Ashley and Ben taking their friends with them when they have the opportunity. Love the song.

Hands down, two of the most talented women in the folk music scene today. I am so full of love and admiration for both Shannon and Ashley. Someday I'd like to be a gal as gifted as them. Til then, I'll be drinking off a bottle of whiskey and breaking the replay button on this song.

That harmonica riff has found its way into my soul.

This is one of those songs. I sat here and listened, mostly with my eyes closed, and thought back over the last 40 years. Of everything I've seen, of all those I've lost in a myriad of ways, of the pain (that I've endured and caused), of all the times I've tempted fate and thought of times I wanted to end it all. And damn did my eyes start leaking. But its songs like these that remind me that I'm not alone in the pain I carry. We're not alone. There are folks out there that know and understand. And it gives me hope

I just lost my best friend to cancer on my 30th birthday. He was 30 as well. He was a liar, a heroin addict, a thief, and a son of a bitch. He also knew more pain than anyone else I knew, and I loved him since when we were just kids. He was always in and out of jail. My dad took him under his wing secretly for years trying to help him get sober, he would steal from my parents and run back to the junk. I always knew his life would end early. I know it couldn't last. But at the same time, it ain't right, all that he saw in this poor life. And I used to be able to count my dead friend just on my hands, in the last ten years I've run out of fingers and toes. I'm 30.

We’re lucky that she would share such a heartbreaking song with us. Shannon is incredible. If y’all are just discovering her y’all should check out her stuff with Spitshine and Teardrop Trio.

No matter where Ashley Mae plays she adds so much color to a duo

When I see young people making music like this it gives me hope that the craft will not be lost to ever more soulless pop and auto tune singers with no heart or talent bombarding us from every FM channel around the world.
