Brandy Clark "Hold My Hand" At Grammys

One of the highlights of the recent 57th annual Grammy Awards occurred when Best New Artist nominee Brandy Clark appeared on a side stage with Dwight Yoakam to perform “Hold My Hand.” The two gave one of the small-stage emotional moments on a night usually dominated by big production numbers.

Clark and Yoakam’s performance of “Hold My Hand” is of a song about relationship insecurities that Clark wrote with Mark Stephen Jones. 20925 Update: While the Grammy performance is no longer on YouTube, below is a recording of Clark and Yoakam singing the song.

“Hold My Hand” is from Clark’s album, 12 Stories. Although she did not win Best New Artist or Country Album of the Year, the Internet loved her performance and hopefully sharing the spotlight with Dwight Yoakam will make sure we hear more from her in the future.
