The first time I heard it was from JP, who I think says that he wished he'd written it himself. I'll send you to you... and a Blaze Foley one too... Thanks,
I don't know whether I know the whole story, James, but I sure know enough. I haven't looked at all your YouTubes because for some reason most videos won't load! Don't know if it's the system or my computer. Of course, as you might guess, the ones I most want to see won't load. Do you do a cover of "If I Could Only Fly," which is one of my favorites. I am also a huge Townes Van Zandt fan. The most beautiful pieces of art of all types seems to come out of pain.
I only learned of the great Blaze Foley about a year ago and would give my right arm if I could have seen (and had a drink or two LOL) with him. You did a great job with this, James!
I could have left it on any of your tunes. Love your style ...am also enjoying going thru your favorites ... I think we both know what makes a good song since we agree on so many ! - Paul
How could not love this song. Even John loves it, does a cover and admits he should have stayed up a little later than usual. Blaze is what Lucinda williams describes as a beautiful looser. Can't we identify with that . . . Great job on a great song!
very good cover of that foley song..

I had trouble reading your bio with Willy in the background. Where are you in this world...
