That song genuinely gets to me. I saw her live a while back, and I welled up in a crowd that probably mostly frowns on grown men welling up. It’s just such a heartbreaking song.
A lot of her early stuff is so good.
If you do find yourself across the NC border, a visit to the Cherokee Museum
should be on your list. “Story of the Cherokees: 13,000 Years” is
mandatory. I don’t have any other recommendations for Cherokee NC
specifically.
My kids got to meet this man this summer: JERRY WOLFE NAMED BELOVED MAN - The Cherokee One Feather
Jerry Wolfe is the first Beloved Man of the tribe in about 200 years.
The drive between Gatlinburg and Cherokee is a beautiful one, too. The whole region is gorgeous.
