One of the best songwriters ever. He wrote so great songs. But there are just 45 thousand people who watched this video. so sad.

Hey there "lapislazuli42",
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.

And on the 7th day God rested my ass! He was busy planning on making the greatest songwriter ever!

I have to agree with you. I've posted on other TVZ videos that my own, and other's, fascination with Townes lies in the fact that he eloquently voices our darkest thoughts, letting us know that we are not alone in our dark slide into oblivion.

if you guys havent seen heartworn highways you should check it out. It shows townes' backyard and he shows the camera some "rabbit holes" and he actually falls in one and drags himself all the way in it, knocking his cowboy hat off. he seems very happy(drunk) in that vid, excellent footage of guy clark and steve young as well. Townes is the man



I like what you hear him say at the end. "I am glad that I remembered that one."
