I was never very keen on C&W, until I heard TVZ and Willie Nelson, do a song called "marie" - so sad, but I also know that Lyle Lovett did a brilliant tribute to TVZ, his version of "flyin shoes", I am sure Townes would have loved it too!
Indeed! I'm all for individual interpretations, but why do people make "Pancho and Lefty" out to be a song about the bandit Pancho, and a Judas, Lefty, who betrayed him for money? I've always interpreted the song as telling TWO STORIES, both about ill-fate souls. Pancho, the bandit, meets his match (and his end) on the desert down in Mexico; Lefty, the alcoholic road musician (Townes?), fades into obscurity. (He only did what he had to do, not for money, but for his dreams.)
This guy doesn't waste a word or a note.

So where is this album! Where do I find the thing that I can listen to in the car that sends me back to heaven?
Geeze, thanks, Townes, for living the life that helped the rest of us live ours.
