A gorgeous and heart-tugging song from Guy Clark, who was one of Steve's early mentors. Most of that Austin group is gone now, except Steve and Rodney Crowell, and the ageless Willie. RIP, Blaze, Townes, Guy, Susanna, Jerry Jeff, Skinny Dennis
Wow. Better than Diamonds cover. Sung with the heart only a great songwriter can sing. That’s ones definitely a save to play on repeat. Thanks Steve and the recording engineers for the great sound
Just heard, this morning, we lost a great outlaw... Jerry Jeff Walker passed away, Friday night, from the past years battle with cancer. Another legend gone. I am beyond saddened, grieving for a man I never met, but whose presence and impact on this music-living gal's heart was huge. Thank you, Steve, for sharing this poignant ode to a true 'outlaw country' soul... REST IN PEACE, Jerry Jeff. Godspeed.
@@caesarstrings Not really. If someone covered Nothing Compares 2 U and someone wrote a comment about how much they loved Sinead O'Connor would that be misplaced, because actually Prince wrote the song? No.
First time I saw You in concert was in Tucson, right after 9/11. I figured that You didn't like flight jackets with Air Force patches. Got to introduce my close friends to Your music when I got back to Grand Junction, Colorado and bought them tickets to enjoy Your performances when You got through this valley. Your music, and Your Mentors' way, have influenced mine. Thanks for humbling me at the Rialto Theater in Tucson, right after 9/11. I thought that I was Billy Baddass wearing my flight jacket, but You looked right at me and said, "There are going to be some heroes in this Country, and not all of them will be wearing uniforms ". "
Yeah Martin, you’re right. My older sister and I were just talking this morning, about this song. And she said it was written by Guy Clarke. Jerry Jeff, made it famous. Those were the days of the Cosmic Cowboys, as they called them back then.
Guy's and this version are Texas Outlaw Country as they should be, Jerry Jeff'a version was as LA Country Singer/Songwriter Scene as you would ever find. I love both versions for what each is saying. Guy's was remorseful and defiant and hopeful. Jerry Jeff's was up yours and I am leaving this hellhole for somewhere better.
@@brazenlilhussy5975 Damo how are you and I going to educate the rest of our little country when our national radio stations (4 of them) continually play 99.9% crap but thankfully we can listen to Steve, Townes Guy Clark etc. spread the word mo chara - Padraig
The vocal mic is the sE Gemini II which is a tube mic (it has its own power supply). The acoustic guitar mic is the Shure sm81, which is phantom powered, yes. Both mics are plugged into a Rupert Neve Designs 5024 and then into Pro Tools. Thanks for listening!
