Stars Fell On Alabama by Lizz Wright from Grace

ACCLAIMED VOCALIST & SONGWRITER LIZZ WRIGHT RECORDS GRACE, HER LATEST STUDIO ALBUM PRODUCED BY AMERICANA ICON JOE HENRY.

Lauded American singer Lizz Wright’s latest project, Grace, reveals the web of deep-running roots of story and song that bind together the vastly diverse traditions that are the soul of the American South. Wright summons her Southern heritage and the spirit of the earth to usher us into a nurturing space that pulses and hums with the unspoken suggestion that grace is a cornerstone of our original state of being.

Produced by acclaimed singer and songwriter Joe Henry, Grace is a stark reflection of Wright’s sense of place and belonging that’s deeply woven into the cultural fabric of America. Grace is set for release on Concord Records on Friday, September 15, 2017.

I bought this album very last minute for the holidays a few years ago. It looked like it was good. No it is GREAT! And it turns out this song was my parents' first SONG together. My mom and I were both born in Alabama. I never knew they had a connection to this song. My dad was born in Switzerland, arrived in the U.S. at 17 speaking no English, and joined the Navy at 20. He became a pilot. Met my mom in Pensacola as she was riding around in a convertible. I am just about to turn 63 and my heart swoons for the young lovers they were. Still alive, still married. My mom is having health issues so not sure how long she will be around. I am doing my best to spoil them these days. <3
