  • Love this live version ,Love your voice and all your great songs Rodney,you know I'm your biggest fan,Mayo,Ireland.

  • The true beauty of this song is it's simplicity. I love this song...<3

  • I know the chords he is playing but does anyone know or have a link to the exact travis picking pattern he is using? Is it just a standard 4 string pattern?

  • my gma just died and it was 6 years after gpa i slept in the house so full of family and life with my mom the other night the house was so quiet ,,, my mother so sad i said mom did you ever think in our life we would be the only two sleeping in this house.... i watched her finally sleep and i sang this is my mind until i fell asleep.

  • I grew up on Telephone road Just a few miles from where Rodney did. He is 10 years older so I never knew him but it is amazing to me how similar our lives were. That is except for his musical talent. I play alot of his songs which is easy. He wrote so many beautiful compositions that he will always be my favorite.

  • First time I heard this song was at Rodney's Nottingham (UK) Rock City concert when he was touring The Houston Kid with Will Kimborough. You realise on first listen what a fascinating and beguiling number it is. The perfect way to round off the album. Those are killer opening words: 'So I'm an orphan now, out here on my own.' Looking forward to the Chinaberry Sidewalks tour coming to England.

  • It doesn't get any better than this ...glorious stuff ....

  • Man! This is golden! Sad yet strangely optimistic. Beautiful stuff!

  • beautiful :)

  • Thanks to Fresh Air for bringing this poignant song and thoughtful songwriter to so many new ears (mine included!).

  • @koenan1 Me too,

  • I agree with Stowmann. I was sitting in a parking lot and this came on as part of an NPR interview. Never heard of him before. And indeed, this song is brilliant. I love it. Glad it is on You Tube.

  • I just heard him perform this live on the radio. Never heard of him. Heard of him now. Brilliant.

  • @stowmann Yesterday on NPR? Me too, what a great song by a serious artist. I love finding new (to me) music!

  • Almost too good!

  • A truly wonderful song ,this artist is so underrated in this crap era for music surely the worst ever.

  • Rodney was the BEST concert of 2010....I may never see a show as special and wonderful as the show he performed in Columbia, Missouri USA. OUTSTANDING!

  • Comment removed

  • A lovely song.

    For a few years Rodney would close his show with this song.

    I never wanted a Rodney show to end.

    Thank you for sharing.

  • Pure soul, straight from the man's dreams.

  • Beautiful. Thanks a lot.

    Houston Kid is one of the best albums of the last 10 years.

  • @Ze18613 i can legitimately listen to the entire thing and love it. that can be said for a lot of music

  • @TheSteved1 On the last 10 years? Please name a few albums

  • @Ze18613 what?

  • @Ze18613 my mistake i meant "can't be said" sorry

  • @Ze18613

    I agree with you Ze, It's a truly great record.
