Thanks to YouTube, I just discovered TVZ less than 2 months ago (and his late friend Blaze Foley, as well). I've since purchased 4 TVZ CD's and 2 of Blaze's. I've watched virtually everything of Townes' posted here. I must thank you for posting the "Private Concert" videos. I feel Townes' singing those 13 songs reflects his most heartfelt performances, his emotional peak. While the bell clarity of his youthful voice had vanished, so to, had the rushed delivery.
The true list is Townes, Guy clark, Steve Earle, Hank Williams, and Bob Dylan. And of course the younger generation that will carry this music on will be Just Townes Earle ,Ryan Bingham, Hayes Carll, Adam Carroll and AA Bondy.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic concert!!!

Haha nevermind, just found out it was the Guy Clark version i heard and used to listen to. He did it great. Townes was a great writer.

Who was it that covered this?? Anybody? I have a vague vague memory of hearing it from someone other than Townes...

There are very few songwriters who can stand toe to toe with TVZ. I miss him.
