Steve Earle - my old friend the blues

[Torkgasmicgirl8]

The most loyal friend you'll ever have. The Blues.

[richardcorysghost]

The only sure thing that I've found - I will never lose - My Old Friend the Blues - how many of us knows how that feels Steve? More than those who will admit it , I'd say!

[texanjoe]

Joe Nichols did an amazing cover of this song. Sad to say, I think he put a little more feeling into the song.

[mommenon1]

I love this song....Thank You!

[dawnjakeleah]

What I like about Steve is that he honest and will tell you what he believes - whatever the conceniences. He is the real deal - think whatever you want about him.

[kenedal1]

With his Goodbye with Emmylou up there as one of the greatest country blues numbers

[djrodz69]

some of the best pure country gold ever. PERIOD!

[howienn]

I like them both Proclaimers and Steve but for me; no doubt Steve is the best :)

[llcoolrob77]

My fave genre is Metal but Steve Earle kills..



[HotRodSixString]

Pure country magic old boy .Best country album ever .

[lamusicaeslibre]

En Venezuela existe una Banda de Blues llamada asi The Blues Friends,formada en el 2002 ellos son: Gerard Michel drums,Dany Barazarte lead guitars,Mark Oliver lead guitar and Eddie Gòmez bass uno de sus discos preferido es "Venganza Torcida"

[nicechuck1956]

The Pahinui Brothers did it the best in my humble opinion with David Lindley on lap steel

[BluesBurner]

For the past hour ive been hitting replay. Such a soulful song.

[Wunderbred66]

the proclaimers cover is better. Though this version is also good.

[twocanoes]

@Wunderbred66

I'm a fan of the Proclaimers, but I have to say I prefer Steve's own version...but each to his own choice!

[Buggaton]

@twocanoes his own version? You know Steve wrote this, right? XD

[cutie12980]

@Buggaton I do.

[cutie12980]

@Wunderbred66 they do not cover it better, they sound horrible. No offense

[princessofhesse]

@Wunderbred66 better than Steve Earle? wow.....

[alohomora2507]

Beautiful, i love it

[thechief1963]

Patty Loveless does a respectable cover of this song, but Steve's version haunts the soul.

[brunester1]

mt old friend the blues

[brunester1]

My old friend so blues.

[bulbheadmyass]

Great song, thanks for including the lyrics, all around great video.

[mcs1hr]

Lovely song - when was this written?

[shovingwords]

@mcs1hr the record is from '86 so I guess it's from there or probably earlier, which would mean he'd be about my age when he wrote this :)

[wygakyl]

@mcs1hr This was off his "Guitar Town" CD, from about 1986. Killer.

[robhsmi]

@wygakyl very underated album.i put this casette in my truck and still put in from time to time.

[3535kevin]

I met steve when this album came out at a small club in santa cruz california Shook his hand and watched a kick ass show. His tour bus busted down and a greyhound stopped and brought him to the gig. they played beyond curfew it was great!!! Steve Earle and the Dukes!!

[bogiegogetum]

@3535kevin

what year was that? That would have been a great time. wish i was there too

[Justinl66]

I think this version holds up better than the one from the Proclaimers, although I like them both.

[101hunkerdown]

[WSDonnelly1]

This song to my B.F lol I Love You So Much!!
