Heard a version of this the other day in sligo and it was done on the banjo with a guitar as backup and it destroys all of these other versions by far!

lebblues..Townes Van Zandt , besides being the best Texas singer song writer ever, was an accomplished performer...Other may have had more success with his material...but Townes never gave a damn about being famous.

@lebblues You are definitely right, Tom Russell wrote it....... but Tom, much like Townes Van Zandt is one of those guys who can write incredible songs but just can't play them as well as other guys who cover them can. The studio version of this song off of 'Letter To Laredo' is the best ever.

Damn, yes!

A great classic! Awesome post!

Letters to Laredo has at least six great songs on it. This is just one of them. I listened to it all night once while driving through NC and VA.

Joe Ely does good work with this song,though I like songwriter Tom Russelll's renditions too. Check out a post about Gallo del Celo at the music blog Nightly Song.
