Mickey Newbury - San Francisco Mabel Joy (1988) featuring Marie Rhines 

Mickey was a poet laureate, guitarist extraordinaire, and sang with a tear in his voice. "Have you seen Mable Joy?" Haunting emotion. Incomparable

One of the greatest songs ever written

I cannot listen to this song without crying

first time hearing this beauty.

I love this song and what a great performance. Love Mickey, love that fiddle. Big thumbs up for this one.

A lament and also a tribute to those Southerners that had to leave their land of cotton. God bless America

This is a treasure for me. I`ve listened to the new age album a hundred times on my record player. That guitar together with the beautiful Volin playin` Marie Rhines is truly perfection. I love the minimalism of Mickey, without any lightshows or stuff like that. What would i give to sit in one of his performances in the first row, drinkin whiskey and let that nasty world behind, Mickey youre the best! Iam looking for the full concert a long time, so glad to find this one. Thank you troubadours of Texas for givin me this treasure!

Perfection Happy Birthday, Mickey.

Thank you for sharing. My Dad and I love Mickey Newbury so much. Is this footage from a live performance? I have Mickey's "It Might As Well Be the Moon" album but it would be great to see a full video of that performance if footage for that performance exists. Thanks again for sharing. Any video of Mickey is a real treasure.

WOW I Love his voice when he does hoo sounds lol!!

@pixie_jenkins.... we need to do this!
