Off to boot camp in 68, back to Houston in 72...responsiblities grew and somehow I missed Townes until too late in life. He's gone now, but his music will live forever. Thanks to Brian for bringing the music to me, and to eggcetrafarms for uploading this song.
saw him do this once at the Union at UT, a really noisy place. You could have heard a pin drop. He was sober at the time. Fond memories of all his shows, even the ones where he passed out or forgot the words, but especially the ones where you could see that he had clarity of purpose. J.T., his son, does a great job on this as well, so check him out
@satexguy1 There's footage of JT playing this song. There's a headbanger in a Pantera hat in the shot who's blissing out, which demonstrates the power of this song I think.
Gave me the chicken skin first time I heard it. I have played this song on my blues show "Bluesland" and the phones light up asking who this is. It is my pleasure to spread the word on...Nothing.
"I put down that book, I picked up my gutiar and wrote this song" TVZ on the inspiration for 'Nothin'. He wrote it after reading the last temptation of christ. ahhhhh connect the dots. so good. so amazing
How often we want so much, but all we really need is..... nothin'.
