A poignant, previously unissued version of Nancy’s classic cover of Skeeter Davis’s 1963 hit single, “End Of The World,” is available for individual download, and as part of the Download For Good collection.
Proceeds from “End Of The World (Remix),” as well as the tracks by other artists featured on Download For Good, benefit the David Lynch Foundation’s educational outreach programs. The following quote from Nancy appears on her page at David Lynch Foundation Music:
“Nothing is more important to insure the peaceful future of the planet than nurturing and educating its youth. The effects of a good education, art, and culture, bring an awareness that builds character and a spirit that informs the soul, allowing a person to change the world for the better.”
Nancy originally released “End Of The World” as the penultimate track on her Country, My Way album (1967). In the 1996 Country, My Way CD booklet interview, Nancy explains the genesis of the LP:
“I really wanted to record in Nashville, because I had such fondness for country music, and the musicians, who are outstanding.”
The beautiful artwork (left) associated with the newly released version of “End Of The World” is derived from Ron Joy’s iconic photo of Nancy in the recording studio (right).
