I did a search on the forum and didn't see any discussion of this song. It's sung by and written by Dave Alvin and is a tribute to Karen Carpenter. Don't know how to embed a link but it's on Youtube. He sings about not liking her music back in the day, but now his view has changed. I watched the one titled "live at McCabes 1/14/12". I think you'll like it. Done in a folk style.

Wow, beautiful.
For a little context, Dave Alvin was a part of the LA punk rock scene in the late '70's-early '80's and has continued onwards.
He was in The Blasters, and played for awhile with X and The Knitters while forging along on his own solo career.
The trajectories of artists are fascinating.
