Sheryl Crow And Willie Nelson Drop Nostalgic Video For ‘Lonely Alone’

Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson have dropped a stunning music video for their song, “Lonely Alone.”

The introspective, retro-themed clip features Crow and Nelson performing the tune in an empty bar and in front of a fireplace. Elsewhere in the video, footage of Nelson and his horse ranch is also captured—which beautifully enhances the countryfied, dreamy visual.

“I wrote the song, ‘Lonely Alone,’ with Willie in mind,” Crow shares in a statement. It was written as kind of a barside cowboy noir with romantic Spanish inflections, but the song has taken on new meaning during these times.”

She added, “I hope people find the same comfort in this song that I have always found in Willie. I never feel closer to home than when I am singing with him—I know a lot of people feel the same way, even if they’re just singing along with him on the radio. I felt that this was the perfect song and the perfect sentiment to celebrate THREADS with.”

“Lonely Alone” is a track off Crow’s critically-acclaimed 2019 album, Threads. The 17-track collaborative record features Chris Stapleton, Maren Morris, Jason Isbell, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples, and more.
