Great version, I like the splice of Townes too. What a concert this must have been. I picked out Peter Rowan, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, and a bunch more I didn't recognize, maybe Steve Earle (?) Anyone know any more about this event?

[xAZpuncher]

This song should double hock ever 'punchers heart there is, cause many a Cowboy I know has a real feel for Pancho's desire for freedom (real or imagined) . Why in downtown Tucson they a have a statue of ol' Pancho. My Father was murdered by Mexican Bandits, and yet I like this song. Viva la Border! Just good. purty work!

A well written song, however Zant couldn't carry a tune in bucket, similar to Kris.... doesn't make him a bad guy.

[MrSprite69]

MY BROTHER AND I DID THIS FOR HIS STUDENTS BUT NOT NEAR AS GOOD I'M SO GLAD THEY ARE STILL AROUND. MY BROTHER IS GONE, BUT IM STILL HERE TO LISTEN AND LOVE.

As so often is the case, Emmylou's presence is trivialized in this coupling with Willie.

[john9944]

@rvcrvc2 There is no way to trivialize Emmylou. She is singing harmony on the Willie and Merle version at a guitar pull. There are other versions she sings the whole song. She is probably the greatest and most sought harmony singer in music, with the possible exceptions of James Taylor or Sting and even then she is definitely in their league,

[andthepharaohs]

As ever, Emmylou (and Willie) improve on the original!

[actlloyd]

@andthepharaohs That's bullshit. It's a good version, but Townes sang it better.

[juanarto]

Love Townes, but this is just creepy-weird.



[mpre53]
