    Total nonsense. This performance of this song, right here, by the man himself, is without equal. His voice is so road worn and flush with the steel of his experience, his guitar picking is golden, and his lyrics are supreme, delivery perfect to the last syllable. I love Willie, but come on man. That's Townes Van Zandt!

    I have listened to Willie's version and actually like this one better. This one just seems more stripped, honest, and pure. I love Willie but this version is awesome.

    Townes Van Zandt wrote this tune-  songs are almost always better coming from the songwriter.

    Townes said he didn't know where this song came from, and Springsteen admits the same about most of his songs... so what of talent?

    Why are the ones who decided to leave early so appealing? Not that it takes particular strength to drink oneself to death... but there's something to be said, I think, for burning out instead of rusting.

    I love this version by Townes also better than any!!! His sincerity pulsates with such intensity. What a great performer and songwriter. I so wish I had known him.
