  • Rodney Crowell is one of the finest singer/songwriters around. This song is so humane and compassionate, sung simply; it needs nothing else.

  • Will and Rodney... come back to Australia we loved having you

  • This man has the insight of Jesus when he portrays this character, he does it with such sadness but with great compassion in his heart.

    God bless people like Rodney and Bruce Springsteen singing for the man on the street.

    The ghost of Tom Joad is not unlike this sentiment.

    Beautiful song and wonderful writing skill.

  • @ timeangel8: that's Will Kimbrough accompanying him.

  • This song and its' counterpart song "Wandering Boy" were my introduction to Rodney. I caught this concert on a local PBS channel on the tele where I live this past summer. I was completely awed by the deep meaning behind his words of these two songs which led to tears by the end. The instrumentals of both pieces are pure musical poetry. Does anyone have the complete footage of these two pieces including the story he tells before he starts to play and does anyone know who his accompanist is? Ty.

  • Saw him in Minneapolis, can't wait for him to come back!

  • Proud to claim him as a real Texan.

  • From what I understand this is based on someone he knew who ended up selling himself on the street just to survive. Pretty brave subject for a country song.

  • Rodney did this amazing album after taking five years off to raise his daughters. I saw him perform most of these songs on a taping of E-Town in 2001.Check out “I know love is all I need” An amazing song about our mortality.

  • carlabNYC you said it all 1 year ago. Thank you

  • great tune...and a fine performance...
