[tyeson85]

I can answer your question MsReb14 you asked and said their seems to be people on here who dont have anything nice to say about steve so why are they even on here well that question is easy to answer its because those people are the type of people who just love to start fights with innocent people, those people are the same people who would push and knock down a 80 year old lady as she is crossing the street and break her bones those people are lil bitch ass bullys those pep are the people

if you dig steve check out The Regretting Man

[whitehorsetom]

we in the UK love Steve Earle ....oh and his politics.

[MsReb14]

Its great. Love all of Steve Earles music...there seems to be some people on here who dont have anything nice to say about him so why they on here? Anyway, he is a great artist, and as far as his thoughts I agree with most...Either way, I have an open mind and love to hear what he has to say, as for narrow minded people , well, its sad, you miss alot of good things and live inside your little box of thoughts...lighten up. Keep up the tunes Steve. We love ya

[Marcuskane666]

Steve Earle is one of the few country artists I grew up enjoying...TBH His politics isn't my concern and shouldn't be..he's not a politician. He's an artist and I'll enjoy his works..not his opinions.

[texausmusiconly]

Steve Earl is a great artist. Obama didn't deserve his vote. Straiten up your act or get out of the way. Steve Earl for president. Steve, I'll never go for communism or liberal bullshit. Listen for the voices deep down. We are the best nation on the face of the earth. We need a good four years. We still have the Knowledge and technology to lead the free world but we can't without the leadership of a good man. Obama ain't it.......

[HammerOfZues]

@texausmusiconly For Christ sake, shut the fuck up and listen to the song.

[dizzaztergirl]

<3 ya Steve! That voice & music brought me through some odd & fun & troubled times. Keep it going!

[phakit]

Love Steve's work. Townes is a legend. I know MANY musicians who are good family people and providers. Ever hear of Farm Aid? All the artists donate their time and performances to help Americas small farming families. I know cause my wife's family ARE small (hundred acres) farmers. For over a 100 yrs.

[TheLeftyGrove]

Perfect. Singing TVZ and ridiculing the biggest piece of shit to ever serve our country.

Can't get any better than this. Thanks for posting, and, as always, thanks for the honesty, Steve.

[vatti902]

I wanna ask you all a question. How do you get more real and honest than steve earle?

[MsReb14]

@vatti902 ABSOLUTLY..STEVE EARLE IS THE SHIT

[dudefelix]

@MsReb14 vete un poco a la mierda, anda.....

[MsReb14]

@dudefelix dude, speak english! Dont know what the hell your sayin...

[MsReb14]

@dudefelix WHAT the hell is that? Speak English...

[MsReb14]

@vatti902 Can't. Love him and everything he does...And for the idiots who talk shit why they on here???

[worldcoup]

I don't normally engage people with learning difficulties, but for the benifit of the enlightendned, I want to align myself with those who can appreciate that this man is like a gold nugget among the pile of shit that makes millions off the backs of the little people. For those who want to scream, communist , I promiose not to be offended, just remember that you and your entire backward lineage are a wonderful arguement for eugenics.

[Music100Quality]

great guy i agree with his political view mans a genius. not to many of those nowadays

[jaytoddmartin]

legend.

[hobie65202]

shut up and sing

[claypunk]

azcharlie2009: The affect art has is not tangible. You can not measure the affect it has had on the world. For instance Neil Young's political lyrics are there to be thought about. To Provoke your thoughts and exercise your mind. And hopefully change minds, get people to think or become emotional in some manner. Why should someone keep their politics to themselves? I encourage the exact opposite. If you think music is simply a collection of sounds you like to hear you are missing out big time.

[friendlyisle]

don;t be a Lefty

[mistascott007]

I don't give a damn about Steve Earle's political opinions. I don't agree with him on most issues. But that doesn't take anything away from the fact that the man can flat out sing and write.

[runnc]

@mistascott007 ha dick head dont mock the baddest outlaw country singer bitch

[mistascott007]

@runnc Go back and read what I wrote several times slowly to yourself. I am actually paying him a complement. And clean up your language while you are at it. Thanks.

[ncarver]

I have never seen such ignorant and hateful comments on youtube. Get a grip folks ... read the news (if you can read). People like Earle et al are singing people songs. get on back to your meth labs and tea party.

[eaks52]

@ncarver The intelligence, and thought needed to write such wonderful gems ( (yes I know this is a cover) such a Steve Earle's songs, show up in his opinions. His opinions are the result of a thoughtful, intelligent and humanitarian journey though life. I would give more credence to his views than any self serving politicians, left or right.

[azcharlie2009]

no wonder Obama is president.......

[MsReb14]

@azcharlie2009 yep! get over it. couldnt wander around a burning Bush for 40 freakin years...Time for a change. And you sir could sure use one good attitude change..your mind is narrow and stupid...seem a little uptight, they have medicine for that

[boils2]

For Willie and Bo. Gone and never forgotten.

[moosikmann]

Listen, you moronic idiots! This is Steve Earle. Man, he's got more talent in his left nut than all of cockheads have in your tiny brains put together.

For God's sake, listen to some talent. If u don't think this message is for you then your all F'd UP bigtime!!

[MsReb14]

@moosikmann I agree with you.....I DO agree with most of his politics, and Steve Earle is awesome, comes threw this area often, and he is just a very talented, and people should keep the ugly shit to themselves and shut up!

[jbe4th]

This is the music I reach for when I 'need' music. That is all.

[nonirockify]

a friend of mine died today. Steve / Townes are the only things i can listen to

[fngrpkn06]

Great artist great recording.

[shovingwords]

really nice video. thank you for uploading. I think Steve Earle really loved TVZ.

[azcharlie2009]

Why do stupid libs always mix music with politics? This guy is a good musician, but has he ever had a job where he made or built something and actually contributed something to society. No. CSN is the same way. They just uses the stage to make smart ass comments about people who have dedicated their lives to keeping this country free so idiots like this guy can stand up make stupid comments like his Cheney joke. Yeah, well Obama has big ears and not much between them. Big deal.....

[Chalkyevilgoth]

@azcharlie2009 made or built somethingthat contributed to society? Name me a great writer or philosopher who "contributed" by your definition. Thought is the most important product there is, & it becomes even more valuable when the world is filled with dumbass rednecks & yes men.

[123yellowstone]

@Chalkyevilgoth Can't think of a philosopher or writer who ever provided food or housing for another, like a good old dumbass redneck businessman who gives a person a job. You just can't eat thoughts, can you? There's nothing wrong with art. But, in the end, it's just entertainment. Nothing more. And, artists (musicians) are no smarter than anyone else. So they should keep their mouths shut when it comes to politics. Sam Walton has done more for the little guy than anyone on the planet.

[DrRockso74]

@123yellowstone Helping give a voice to the voiceless, giving someone strength, etc. None of those things are as good as destroying the little man and their own stores. I feel ya hoss.

[50chevydan]

@123yellowstone Walmart has ruined many small towns and small businesses. Dick Cheney dedicated his life to making money. If anything he is responsible for taking peoples lives by irresponsibly placing them in danger for profit. Quit going to tea party rallies, you guys are ruining America.

[IndieKirby]

@123yellowstone Im sorry if im being rude or anything. But music is more then just love songs and sunshine dust. Lots of it is about what it represents.. Maybe the easiest way to share his point of view is through music. Take a look at this mans life. its been everything but easy. Just read up on him whatever. He hasnt had the easiest life. So i think like everyone else in the world, he deserves to share his thoughts about things, thank you

[AllKindsaGirls]

@123yellowstone you sir, are a dumb ass.

[shrivalup]

@123yellowstone ha! read a book. if you cant think of any writers, or artists in general, that were hard working providers or enterprising businessmen than yr ignorance amazes me. yr so full of shit. you cant eat thoughts but without them you wouldnt eat. we wouldnt be. wed be stuck in the stone age. and if anybodys done the most for the masses its definitely not walton, come on. louis pastuer? guttenburg? djerassi, hoffman, fleming. these guy gave us antibiotics, vaccines, bitrth control

[shrivalup]

@azcharlie2009 youve gotta be one the stupidest willfully ignorant old farts ever to think the only way for one to contribute to society is in a material sense. whining about people talking shit about self serving politicians or gov't in general is the opposite of patriotic. and you post vidoes playing dylan and neil young. i served in iraq and lemme tell you cheney hasnt dedicated his life to anything other than cheney. hardly any politicians have served anymore. they like their backdoor draft

[azcharlie2009]

@shrivalup Look, hot head. All I'm saying is keep your politics to yourself and play music. Just because I play Neil Young or anyone else doesn't mean I have to agree with their idiotic utopian beliefs. I stand by the fact that no musician, poet, writer, or philosipher ever provided food, clothing, or shelter for one solitary person other than themselves. How selfish is that? All the crap they talk is just a bunch of left over commune hippy bull, where the little guy gets screwed..

[shrivalup]

@azcharlie2009 "I stand by the fact that no musician, poet, writer, or philosipher ever provided food, clothing, or shelter for one solitary person other than themselves. How selfish is that? All the crap they talk is just a bunch of left over commune hippy bull, where the little guy gets screwed.." no, you stand by a glaring falsehood. no artist ever supported a family? no nonartistic writer or philosopher supported elderly parents or a spouse? that is so assinine, ass.

[habertree]

@shrivalup /watch?v=aDSN1F72QU4

[MsReb14]

@shrivalup Cheney gets rich off the little people...why you on here anyway? Take a break from being a dick, you dont get paid for that do you? Than again....you might. lol

[MsReb14]

@MsReb14 sorry, that was meant for azcharlie dude. dickhead

[tucsonagent]

@azcharlie2009

RE Obama. When was it that you graduated from Harvard? I'm waiting. Still waiting.

[azcharlie2009]

@tucsonagent Harvard? Who said anything about Harvard? The only profession I like less than used car salesmen are lawyers and realtors. Well, maybe insurance salesmen.

[JDoubleOP]

Chicken Skin Music. thumbs up

[elesalguodkram]

Aw shucks, I'm a first timer and you 'bradleypark' got my response instead of the one I intended it for 'lawlessinc' who has since had his awful comment removed. I can build a house but I'm somewhat technologically inept. Anyways, apologies, didn't mean to be hurtful just got a little riled and I probably won't be doing this again. Back to putting up drywall on the other side of the world.

Regards, Ele Salguod.

[bradleypark1]

@lawlessinc So you loved Steve Earle until you became a bitter,narrow-minded hack? Good for you lemming.

You need to lighten up a bit,a musician can still be great and not share your political views. Ignorant but no big surprise.

[elesalguodkram]

@bradleypark1

It never ceases to amaze me though by now it should have - how people such as yourself, inarticulate and ignorant, are unable to realise that the sum of the parts maketh the man. Knowing all you do about the 'why' Steve Earle does what he does - writes, performs, objects to the obscenity of the death penalty etc would you even bother to follow what he does. I assume you're a middle aged white man blogging his lonely way in cyberspace hoping some poor chump will bite. Me I spose

[bradleypark1]

@elesalguodkram apparently I have less time on my hands than you do my sorry friend.At any rate you can stuff your hurting opinions and your slanted political ideals as well

[Hans47]

Nice tribute to TVZ. Can't believe the bozos who knock Townes' recordings of this song - absolutely nobody does it better than the Rear View Mirror version.

[jacefkluver]

Verry seldome is the remake better than original but this is the real deal. Steve Earle is the man.

[stpdeli]

@intresselwetrust If you mean the studio version, I'd recommend you check out the live version on Rear View Mirror.

[RavensNest]

Eargasm. Been a Steve Earle fan for years. The man can sing a story song like no other. Rock on brother.

[therealfactor]

@RavensNest Absolutely --Copperhead road.

[oakron]

Steve is the man

[Hewe68]

Only one word:awesome!

[vociferouscarthusian]

Wow. The real stuff

[dobella]

wonderful, steve earle gets better every time, no hair gel, dying hair, f*ck that, this is quality without the phony shite.

[mxssxm1]

just awesome!

[jezx21]

steve is a legend

[TheLeftyGrove]

One of the very few heroes left...

[IntoTheEterno]

does anyone has the tabs for this song? The steve earle version

[srmsrm76]

the best video of steves

[jynxsxe]

amazing song....so touching. so much into it.

[andrefsferreira]

Van Zandt - quintessential country...

typical wasp

[Fahamut]

It is indeed from his album Townes. A tribute album to his mentor Townes Van Zandt. You can find Townes Van Zandts version on you tube along with Willie Nelson and Merle Haggards cover , Townes even appears in the music video a couple times lol.

[walkercompany]

is this version for sale anywhere?

[hursh9]

I believe it's on his "Townes" album

[JennyHollisxx]

awesome video .... wow.

[Wonderboy0046]

Thanks, I really enjoyed the whole performance on your website
