US RECORDING SESSION - Atlanta GA

• #Where We Both Say Goodbye

A duet between Catherine Britt and Elton John. Written by Newcastle country artist Catherine Britt and Jerry Salley, the song was released as a single on July 26 2005. Produced by Keith Stegall. Catherine Britt describes the song as: "A really sad song, where they both say goodbye - it's a typical country love song."

Catherine Britt said she was thrilled with the final result of the session, but was almost overcome by the enormity of the occasion. "Don't take this the wrong way, but it was awful," said Britt, with a laugh. "It was so nerve-racking. We were singing to each other, he was looking in my eyes and smiling and it killed me. I think you can hear it in the track, the emotion that was going on and how hard it was to stand in a room and sing with Elton John. It was quite scary, but we really had a lot of fun."
