Crazy for Ellen



The Petersens do a new take on that old Country standby, Crazy, written by Willie Nelson. That number went on to become one of Patsy Cline's biggest hits.

This is the kind of song Ellen Petersen Haygood does so well. She needs to be able to go full-throated on basic emotions, which she does with her customary panache in this attractive video.

As always, fabulous support comes from her siblings and bandmates.

Ellen gushes, "The first artist that ever had me fall in love with singing was Patsy Cline. I would take entire road trips and the only artist I would have blasting through my speakers and singing along with was Patsy. It's an honor to cover another one of her masterpieces!"
