If I Needed You - Featuring Emmett Franz

This has been one of my all time favorite duet songs through the years and this rendition is similar to the cover Joey and Rory sang of this Townes Van Zandt tune. Emmett Franz was kind enough to join me on this one. Enjoy another back porch sing 😊

One can see that the song touched Your heart. And You touched my heart, too, by listening to You.

[@nigelbarton8350]

This is great to listen to, they sing superbly together. It’s a shame these duets seem to have stopped, but I suspect it is at least partly due to the comments below and in other videos that they should be a couple. That brings unfair pressure on them, they are both mature Christians who will only proceed with a relationship if they are sure it is right before God, and I salute them for that!

[@JasonBorn89]

these were also posted during covid lockdown when they had more time to do them

I come back and listen to this song and "Think about the Two of Us" often! You guys are so good together! We need more!

What a beautiful version of this great song written by Townes Van Zandt. The simplicity of the two terrific voices of Katie and Emmett combined with the amazing Dobro of Emmett and Katie's fiddle make this such a very SPECIAL VIDEO!

Not Bad...........Not Bad At All. you two need to do more. That was very ....very nice.

An extraordinary cover of the great Townes van Zandt's song - reminds me of Emmylou and Don Williams version ... and that says a lot. Thank you

Townes Van Zandt was an absolute genius. If you are going to be remembered for one song; you could not find a better. Made for a beautiful duet, as here.
