' Loving You 'is a reflection on the life and music of Bobbie Nelson, says Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Amanda Shires. Shires' mission in making 'Loving You 'is to pay respect to the only woman she saw working in a band and pursuing a career as a sideman. I first saw Bobbie playing when I was 16 at some festival in Texas where I grew up, she explains. Much of my path seemed possible because I saw a woman working and making a career of music at a young age, and that woman was Bobbie Nelson. Amanda and Bobbie got together in 2021 to record at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas - a facility co-owned and operated by Nelson's son, Freddy Fletcher. The album 'Loving You' features songs Nelson and Shires played and treasured their entire lives - a few of Nelson's favorites along with her own elegant solo piano title cut. The album would eventually trace Nelson's musical story - and personal journey. Waltz Across Texas, Always on My Mind, Old Fashioned Love, Summertime [FT. Willie Nelson], Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground, Dream a Little Dream of Me, Tempted and Tried, La Paloma, Loving You, Over the Rainbow
