That video cut from "The Last Waltz" with Levon singing "'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is white-boy soul at it's best! Sure hurt to lose him. ::teary_eyes:: J.O'.

Pop, Mavis, and The Staples really spiced up the "The Weight" too! Funny, I remember the exact time and place I heard that song on the radio the first time. Totally blew me away. :D :D Had a little rock and roll band and we learned it in a couple days, been playing it ever since. Tunes like that are "evergreen". Thanks Willie for the flashback. J.O'.

Townes was a great talent and he wrote some awesome lyrics. I cover a couple of his songs and peope always ask who wrote them. More people should know. Always loved his cover of Dead Flowers.

I love this version..it haunts me... this was my brother's favorite song (Willy and Merle cover), he passed when I was 12...I can't watch this video or hear any version without memories flooding back, maybe a few tears, too.. that's the beautiful thing about good music --it can spark a flood of emotions or memories in an instant, happy or sad...

No Place to Fall and Don't Take it Too Bad are two of my favorites.

When I lived in Houston area it was a short trip to Galveston and the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe that is owned by Wrecks Bell (Rex's Blues). Rex was a friend of Townes and played bass with him at times. Guy Clark, Townes VanZant, Rodney Crowell and Steve Earle were all part of a cool Texas music scene that makes me wish I was a bit older so I could have seen it happen. Robert Earl Keen and Lucinda Williams are two more great Texas singer songwriters I like to cover. Lucky to have seen them both a few times.

The Old Quarter in Galveston as well as Dan Electro's Guitar Bar and The Last Concert Cafe in Houston are great places to hear live music in a small dive atmosphere. I miss Texas for this and many other reasons.
