Agreed. I like Cowboy Jack as a person and artist, but this production is atrocious. And I think he knows it; I have seen a video where he jokes about his tendency to overproduce songs at this time. (It is the Austin City Limits tribute to Townes after e died. Guy Clark laughs.) I always recommend folks get "Live at the Old Quarter" as an intro to Townes.
Sweet! Thanks for posting. Normally I hate these sort of made up background things but your one is very fitting. And the best version of this song imo.
Okay, you have my curiousity up. I noticed you are in Norway but also noticed the shots on this video which included the Isis Cinema and the Stock Yards. Both in Fort Worth which is my hometown as well as Townes'. What gives? How did you get so smart about Fort Worth living in Norway? Fort Worth is hardly on the map. Thanks for the post. Oh, I used to cut school and watch movies at the Isis when I was a kid. Then wander around the Stock Yards. That was before the place was gentrified.
lest we forget Townes, a gem of a Americana, up there with Phil Oches

Sometimes a talented person, or a pure experience can be diverted into massive brilliance, and creativity by something evil, or poisonous.
It was the strychnine that made Orange Sunshine the wild visual acid it was, but if you took it, it might not end well.

Read about this man in Wiki--Good Lord, what a genius, yet people don't realize that
he was suffering with a mental disability while he was creating such poetry and
music. Another genius gone too soon.
