Shelly Fairchild and Shamir share a life-giving cover of Loretta Lynn’s rousing country classic Fist City– a buoyant offering after the heaviness of loss, marrying Fairchild and Shamir’s unmistakable vocals to a classic track as a personal tribute to the passing of a beloved icon. Shamir posted about the loss the same day Fairchild’s band recorded the song, fate joining the label mates together for this homage. The video below was shot at Loretta Lynn’s ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Fist City is out now on all digital platforms! (above image by Ford Fairchild)
Shamir:
“The music of Loretta Lynn has always been a source of comfort. My love of country first began when I got my first radio when I was 9 years old. Every Sunday morning my local country station would play classic country and oldies, of course, Loretta’s music was frequently played.”
