Stephen Bruton - "Waiting for a Long Time"

Stephen Bruton is a great musician, writer & producer. He's Toured with Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt and Christine McVie... .his songs have been covered by Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Little Feat, Martina McBride and Waylon Jennings... he's produced acclaimed albums for Hal Ketchum, Alejandro Escovedo and Chris Smither...he's released five great solo albums - the most recent being "From The Five" on New West Records.

I love this groove driven version of "Waiting For A Long Time" - a Bruton original that was a hit single for the Highwaymen (Cash, Waylon,Willie & Kris).

Not only are you an idiot,piggzey, but you are unable to express yourself.

Kindly take yourself away and cease to annoy those of us who enjoy TSB's talent.

I lived in Austin for 10 years and never got tired of seeing/hearing Stephen play live. He's an amazing and inspiring musician and his songs are intelligent, perfectly crafted and thought-provoking.

So sad to hear that he is not doing well.

Anyone who says he is talentless is simply ignorant. Just ask any musician.

I met Him at a benefit we were playing and had the pleasure of jamming with him backstage. I saw him about a year later as he got into my cab at the airport. I had just seen him on "Matloc" a week before saying "we find the defendant guilty". Truly great musician and great guy.

@W1l2L3L4ARD I have all of Stephen's music and love all of it. So happy I found this treasure. Before I moved from Tx to Or. I went by and got to talk to Sumter also saw a show (Malford Milligan) with him and some family. Very nice people.

@Bluesbabesrv I was just dumb lucky to be living in a town where his guitar player friend (Michael O'Neill) lives. I got to see Stephen in a small club here several times and I treasure every memory of that. Sorry you couldn't have enjoyed him in that way too. Glad you liked what he did in Crazy Heart.

Stephen Bruton was a true genius. Anyone who can't recognize that simply hasn't evolved far enough yet. He is my song writing hero. I just love his amazing style. The good always die far too young. We MISS you Stephen!

I've just spent the last two hours playing along with all of these fantastic songs and realize that I'm a little lonely for his prolific writing...I just love him!

I am an Englishman who came to Stephen's music late. He died within a year of me "finding" him sadly. I just love his stuff. Love it.

any one who says "he is/was talentless" is a shit eatin' idiot and I hope they go to hell with their back's broke.
