Lainey Wilson dug deep into the vaults to revive a 27-year-old demo written by Dean Dillon and Skip Ewing for Apple Music’s “Lost And Found” program.
The song, “I Would If I Could,” had never been officially recorded and lie dormant for almost three decades until Lainey went looking for a song to record for the program.
Dillon said in a recent interview, “Skip and I had never written before, I don’t know who had the melody or who had the idea, but when we finished, I thought we had a great song.
There was more to it than a lot of other stuff I’ve written, but for whatever reason, and you know this yourself, it happens a lot.
They just get pitched a couple times and that’s it.
You never hear about them again.
And then somebody somewhere dug this out of the trash can somewhere.”
