Memphis - Janis Ian & Willie Nelson

I wrote this song with Deana Carter for my album "god & the fbi". Everyone said Willie would never record it with me, but we persisted and sure enough, one day the invitation came - come on down to Perdenales and record it in his studio! Chet Atkins played lead, we sang, and it was an unbelievably wonderful experience.
This video was made by Dave, a fan I wish I knew more about, because it's stunning!

I remember this live without Willy in PIttsburgh, PA. I absolutely love this song!!!

[@JochenVogel]

You wrote this with Willy Nelson in mind, didn't You? What a beautiful song! Moved me to tears a bit, although I have never been to Memphis. Also nice that You kept the sound kind of intimate.

You've always been a class act. Class inspires class and is found wanting these days.

I used to ride the Greyhound through Memphis all the time. Got grits every time. Then they moved the station out by the airport, didn't feel the same and they stopped serving grits.😭

When was the collaboration done?

[@debjorgo]

This is on the 2000 God and the FBI album, recorded in 1999.
