For a song to be more appreciated and recognized, artists collaborate. With this, a particular song becomes more appealing. John Waite’s “Missing You” is a song outside the country music scene. However, there are still some country music obsessives who were moved by the song. Perhaps, the strong melody can hit the eardrums of anybody. Also, it became more pleasing when Alisson Krauss joined to re-record and re-release the single.
This is the very first time that Alisson Krauss and John Waite collaborated. One respected pop artist and another credible country music star. The outcome is superb as they both outpour pure talent and emotions in recording the song. Due to their collaboration, “Missing You” is now accepted by the Country enthusiasts.
