Son Puts Willie Nelson’s New Song On Radio, Then Mom Realizes It’s Her Song She Wrote Years Ago
By Dreamer
Lyndel Rhodes was a talented musician since the day she was born. Her family from Tennessee was full of musician, and she herself began to play the harmonica at the age of 13.
In 2009, when Lyndel was 85, she wrote a simple yet lovely song called “Little House on the Hill.” At the time, Lyndel had no idea where the song would lead her… and into whose hands the song would land.
Lyndel’s son, Buddy Cannon, also happens to be a skilled musician. Buddy is a successful and renowned music producer who has worked with countless country music superstars, like George Jones and Reba McEntire. For many years, Buddy has continued to work alongside the great Willie Nelson.
One day, Lyndel played “Little House on the Hill” for Buddy. Realizing how great it sounded, Buddy decided to send his mother’s original tune to Nelson himself.
And guess what? Nelson instantly loved it, so much so that he quickly recorded it in his studio and set it to be included on his upcoming release.
In the heartwarming clip below, Buddy plays Willie Nelson’s version of “Little House on the Hill.”
Watch the incredible moment Lyndel realizes her dreams are coming true before our very eyes…
