Awesome song. I first heard it years ago when Verlon sang it at a Guy Clark concert and I fell in love with it. Years later, and I still can't listen to it without tears.

These fucking people need to quit the beer an and show some respect to one fo the greatist songwriters ever.

[wenderm97]

@greenwooby OMG I was thinking the same thing!! If people can't shut-up and listen they should be flung out. Grrr.

[ilbwana]

Just saw Verlon in person for the first time last night at the Coffee Hound in Bloomington IL. What a talent! First time I heard "He left the Road. As Verlon's dad would say "now that's a good song"...

Question for "us19": what do you mean "his 2 capo configuration"? He's using two capos? How so?

[allenjs]

I'm guessing he 'halvsies' the higher capo.

[us19]

This is his 2 capo configuration.

[nhcraftsman603]

@us19 Could you explain the how the double capo work?

[theduvaloutlaw]

@nhcraftsman603 its so he can play in a drop tuning with a capo and not detune the E string. so the guitar stays in standard tuning.

[us19]

Seems a peculiar choice for his opener.

[xflyingtiger]

Wonderful song, and a wonderful musician. Too bad there always seems to be a bunch of drunks sitting around talking when a genius plays.

[johnb2323]

What do you mean by voting? I think Verlon's the greatest and deserves more recognition. I am looking forward to the next time he's in FLA so I can see him again.

[johnb2323]

This song just moves me. Verlon has written so many great ones, but this is one of my favorites. If you get chance to see him perform, don't miss it!

[P3NGUiiN9]
