Candy Apple Blue - If Anyone Falls (ft. Apollo Rogers and Nick Bramlett)
It's a real thrill for Hoyt and I to get the chance to record with Apollo Rogers and Nick Bramlett on our cover of the classic Stevie Nicks song "If Anyone Falls." Recording this song as a duet has given it a completely different vibe. We wanted to take it in a new direction.
This release has been a long time coming. We've been Stevie Nicks fans since before we were teenagers. When "If Anyone Falls" came out I was only 11 years old and Hoyt was 9. I remember watching the music video on MTV and being vastly impacted by her visual and vocal performance of the song.
Stevie's music, both as a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac, has tremendously influenced us as songwriters. Even though we have a wealth of our own original material to record, we thought it was the right time to pay homage to one of the best romantic poets to ever walk the earth.
When we were laying down the vocals on Sunday, Apollo reminded me of something that I had long forgotten. He said, "A duet is a conversation." And that really resonated with me. Good music is and should be about connecting with people. It's my greatest wish that you connect with the music we make.
We hope you will enjoy our cover of "If Anyone Falls" as much as we enjoyed the process of recording it.
