Cher has posted a new song on YouTube, a cover of Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings."

The song is somewhat of a duet between Jesse Jo Stark, Cher's God daughter and Cher and was created for Jesse Jo's father Richard Stark (of Chrome Hearts) for his birthday.
The youtube video also has a good photo-feed of candid Cher shots mixed with shots of Jesse Jo Stark.
The song, about airplanes taking lovers away, is melancholy and sweet and a believable lament for Cher's traveling songbird persona:
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Can we have a Cher country album pleeeeessse?????

Sounds like a good playlist project for me this weekend.
Or we could simply compile our own 13 track country album…
He Thinks I Still Care
Cry Myself To Sleep
Hangin’ On
Please Don’t Tell Me
If I Knew Then
Just What I’ve Been Lookin’ For
Dixie Girl
Spring
Again
Dixie
It’s Too Late To Love Me Now
Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Silver Wings
I’d love it also if she’d do a country album. The pic of her lying on the floor w/the headband on looks like it’s from inside 3614 Jackson highway studio.
