Overview
- Williams teamed with Isbell at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Sunday night, with Isbell on acoustic guitar as she sang lead and him joining on the chorus.
- The collaboration came on Williams’ first solo tour behind Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, with Baltimore scheduled for Tuesday and dates booked through mid‑May before a June Europe and U.K. run.
- The three-night New York stand has leaned on surprise guests, including H2O’s Toby Morse, Annie DiRusso, Claud, and actor Meghann Fahy.
- Williams told the crowd the duet was a dream she has held since seeing Isbell perform the song at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in 2015.
- Isbell wrote Cover Me Up for his 2013 album Southeastern about getting sober and his relationship with Amanda Shires, and after Morgan Wallen’s 2021 slur incident he directed his royalties from Wallen’s cover to the Nashville NAACP.
