Gary Rivers interviewed Amy April 23, 2025 — just a day before the release of Amy Irving’s new album, “Always Will Be”.  We’ve all known Amy for her acting.  Like Gary, we were introduced to her in the classic horror flick, “Carrie”, and later, in Yentyl!

Gary was excited to learn about her new adventure — an album of Willie Nelson Classics!

Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Irving has announced her sophomore album, Always Will Be, featuring 10 electrifying renditions of songs from her longtime friend Willie Nelson’s iconic catalog. The album includes contributions from Amy Helm, Louis Cato, Steve Earle, Chris Pierce, Lizzie No, and Willie himself, and is due out on April 25 via Queen of the Castle Records/Missing Piece Records.

Amy Irving and Willie Nelson’s decades long friendship began when the pair first met on the set of the 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose. After dueting on a reimagining of his song “I’m Waiting Forever” for her 2023 debut album, Nelson reached out to Irving with a proposition: Why not record another album, one comprised entirely of his own work? Irving took him up on the offer, and the result is an incredibly heartfelt album, one that is rooted in love and friendship.
