Fantastic cover, to achieve your fingerstyle picking is something I'm striving for....the vocal harmonies gives me the goose bumps. I think you and Kate would be wonderful for the duet of Steve Earle's "Goodbye". All the best, hm
Made famous by Willie Nelson and also Merle Haggard, but it was Townes who wrote the song. It might be a very young Emmylou Harris singing the female part.
No... Thank YOU for posting this! I played it for 2 hours solid and sang along with it. My wife is ready to kill me! I really got to her wound up when I began playing my hand drum along with the song. hee-hee-hee!
I think this is actually the best version of the song on YouTube. It stands as a testament to the poor quality of Steve Earl's version, the absense of the Townes Van Zandt original, and the obvious talent that went into this cover.
First version that I've heard that I love that sticks to Townes original tlky melody as opposed to Emmy Lou's very melodic approach. Great singin' and pickin' on a favorite song. Thanks!
Wonderful choice of material and exquisitely performed; your voices layer well and the simplicity of the arrangement underscores the strength of the song. Top notch, Kåkon and Kate!
fantastic.

liked your simplicity, harmonies, pace and accompaniment. too often the song is murdered by too much money and too much icing on the cake

Incredible cover man, I was wondering if you have tabs for this like you do with some of the Tom Waits stuff (which is also some great stuff)?
Oh, and if you love Townes, Steve Earles album due out in May is apparently all Townes covers, I know I'm looking forward to it.

I used to have the tab posted on my site, but unfortunately I had to shut it down.
