When Sydney singer-songwriter James van Cooper penned his latest single “Come Home,” he felt just one person could tell the “other side” of the story: US Americana artist Jaime Wyatt.
He heard she was playing a show with Shooter Jennings in Huntington Beach, California, so he took an hour and a half Uber ride from his Los Angeles base to convince her to lend her vocals to the track. Anyone else might have been intimidated asking someone they’d never met to sing a song they hadn’t heard, but James was a man on a mission. Thankfully “She said yes and made the song what it is today. She saved the song.”
While Jaime’s contribution is beautiful, I don’t think James gives himself enough credit. It’s the combination of these two strong alt-country voices that makes this beautiful ballad so special.
