Acclaimed singer-songwriter Bill Callahan is to cover country icon Mickey Newbury's 'Heaven Help The Child' as part of a new split single release. Callahan's version will be paired with Newbury's 1971 original, which was reissued last year as part of the late Nashville singer's 'An American Trilogy' box set.
Saint Cecilia Knows, the label behind the reissue, will put out the split-single in partnership with Drag City on 26 Mar.
Says Callahan of Newbury's enduring influence: "There's something psychedelic and transcendent about Mickey's best work, and when he gets into the realms of songs like 'Heaven Help The Child', where he spans generations and flies over time while still maintaining a singular mind, he's imparting a truly epic knowledge and vision".
