  1. Well said.

    Steve …
    Well said.

    Steve is a master, who was a very able apprentice and a willing journeyman before attaining his current lofty perch.

    God rest Townes’ sodden bones.

    Magical songwriting.

  3. I’ve never really …
    I’ve never really sat down and listened to steve earle before tonight but with songs like this, copperhead road and guitar town, i think i’ll be paying more attention to his stuff. This is especially a great great song.

    thanks for posting …
    thanks for posting this video, last year I was driving through Texas on my way to my father’s funeral. This song really opened a flood gate of memories I had of my father and though we had not been very close I really had to pull over and just get a good cry out of my system before I could finish the drive. Beautiful song from a truly great song writer and singer.

  5. The building blocks …
    The building blocks of a song are imperfect complex pieces. Many folks posing as songwriters, throw a handful of these blocks together and proclaim a masterpiece for something that is little more than a cobbeled up Lego structure. Steve Earle is one of very few people who patiently fits the blocks together to create a true masterpiece every time. Bravo!!

    Wow this is …
    Wow this is brilliant.
    Townes Van Zandt was some songwriter but Steve Earle really pays him justice here.

  7. Ahhh… Steve Earle …
    Ahhh… Steve Earle hit this one out of the park. Townes was his buddy, and I guess he was sending him along his journey with a song.
    Beautiful. Thanks for posting it.
