Nancy & Lee is so good

 

Finally got around to watching Be Here To Love me, the Townes Van Zandt doc from years back. Highly recommend it.

This is probably closest to fitting in this thread of any on this site, just a fantastic write-up in my opinion:

Various Artists: Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3

The capital-I Importance of that anthology has probably been beaten to death at this point but if you've never heard it it really is required listening. My dad had a CD copy when we were kids that got played to death and I kinda hated most of it at the time lol but times change etc

 

A few guys I’ve been listening to a ton lately, did a search and couldn’t find a single post related to any of them on this site. Thought this thread was probably the most appropriate.

 

A perfect album.

Really sad about the loss. One of my biggest regrets was years back one of my buddies had an extra ticket to see him perform solo acoustic at the Ryman around 2011 and I blew it off. Over the years I’ve heard Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) mention several times that was he was at that exact show and it was life changing. Ugh.

 

One of the best to ever do it.

Willie really is the last man standing from that generation now I guess

 

I had never heard A Gentle Evening With Townes.. but stumbled up on a copy recently and was blown away. This performance of Like A Summer Thursday is perfect and the best version of the song I’ve heard.
