From Ruston:
“To say I’ve been influenced by the Carter Family is an understatement. When I first heard their 1927 recordings— considered the ‘Big Bang’ of country, folk, and Americana music—- I was changed forever; Maybelle Carter remains one of my greatest musical influences. Recently, her grandson and my good friend, John Carter Cash, encouraged me to take some alone time out at his ‘grandparent’s place’ in Virginia. He was of course referring to the house the Carters lived in in the 40s and that Johnny Cash and June Carter ended up keeping in their family. Tucked deep into Poor Valley, on the side of Clinch Mountain, I spent a week in solitude, playing guitar by the creek, walking barefoot on the same worn paths these heroes of mine had. I went there on a personal mecca, and I left profoundly moved and grateful for the peace and spirit that family instilled there. On a stormy night in their living room, I started recording this song. It was recorded by the Carter Family 92 years ago and I’m proud to share my take on such an impactful piece of music history.”

Lyrics to "Weeping Willow"

As I say, that was in 1927, the second day of August.​
I'll  never forget it.​

My  heart is sad, and I'm in sorrow
For the only one I love
When shall I see him? Oh, no, never
'Til  I meet him in heaven above

Oh,  bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
Perhaps  will weep over me

They told me that he did not love me
I could hardly believe it was true
Until an angel softly whispered
"He  has proven untrue to you"

Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
Perhaps he will weep over me
And perhaps he will weep over me

Tomorrow was our wedding day
But no, Lord, where is he?
He's gone and found him another bride
And he cares no more for me

Oh, bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me

Bury me under the violets blue
To prove my love to him
Tell him that I'd die for him
His love I never could win

Bury me under the Weeping Willow tree
So he may know where I am sleeping
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
And perhaps will weep over me
