We’ve all been there.”Īfter Skaggs sang a hymn, Patty Loveless and Vince Gill joined him on stage. It’s another reminder that they need to deal with their life and deal with their heart. Yet when we sing a song about the Lord, it touches them. People that don’t go to church, they’ll come and listen to all of us sing. And we take it to the beer joints and the honky tonks and everywhere and we sing songs about Jesus right there, and that’s what people need to hear.
