How I wouldhave loved to have meet Townes and Blaze. True American originals!
-

-
Any townes song....can make you cry.

This song is the one that I first heard of the man. On the record it was snarling slide guitar on distortion and thumping drums, but to see the man, tormented as he was on an acoustic, moves me more than I'd have thought.

Brilliant music with so much guts.

@StrongHeartLives Yeah, I experienced that with a '74 Ovation Glenn Campbell Thinbody that I traded some "stuff" for in 1977 or so. That guitar dissapeared a year or so later. I called the song "bad karma" becuase that soft, sweet voiced, guitar had a cynical dope fiend vibe inside it, Always figured I earned the bad karma it carried when I traded for it and that's why I lost it. Never been able to make the song feel right on anything else...

@probinson1337 - you can tell that is a melody straight from the guitar itself. Every guitar that has been owned and loved by a real player before has a song about the past and if you hear them out they'll teach you a song on their own.

One of the best songwriters to ever live.

When Townes got Blaze's guitar from the pawn shop (whichever version of that dark tale you choose to believe) he said this song was "trapped in the guitar trying to get out". He said most of the lyrics are just recollections or variations of conversations he and Blaze had over the years.
