Townes Van Zandt at his best. "Rake" never fails to move me, and I've been dying to make a video for this one.

I tagged the URL of the Townes Van Zandt website onto the end of the video. If you buy your Townes stuff there the money goes to the family instead of to some faceless corporation.

    Townes Van Zandt wrote so many great songs, and this is one of the greatest!

    My god, sitting here drinking this beer, I can't but wonder if there is a better song in the world.

    To a large extent I'm sure that Townes wanted arrangements for his songs, his vision went beyond himself. I agree that stripped down has it's own beauty, but I think the strings in this song add a lot of depth.

    Heard him just about every chance I got when he'd play in Austin back in the day, and that was quite a lot. We was, and still is, a Texas treasure.

    i saw townes play honky tonks in east texas way back in late 70s and early 80s. now i live in a louisiana city where his daughter lives, she is young, did not know the man that she looks just like, but she understands when i hug her and shed a tear for a man that moves me to hear his voice in my head and see his face on her.
