Re: Favorite Folk...
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.

Re: Favorite Folk...
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...

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.

And it's great to meet another fellow musician such as yourself. Hope we someday can get together, yack a bit, jam a little, share some stories, and knives!

Re: Favorite Folk...
Another songwriting genius, unknown to most. This one of his has been covered by many artists, probably the best known version was done by Merle Haggard.

Re: Favorite Folk...
Wayne you’ve mentioned several of my favorites. Living Texas I’ve had the pleasure of hearing them all and seeing some of them perform too. I guess I am a bit older, saw most of it develop starting back when Willie Nelson and Family were the house band at a place in Dallas in the early 1970s.btrwtr wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 1:30 amNo Place to Fall and Don't Take it Too Bad are two of my favorites.Stanwade wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 10:14 pmbtrwtr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:51 pm Townes was a great talent and he wrote some awesome lyrics.

Not his most popular (a little too long for radio) but here’s my favorite Robert Earl Keen song.

Re: Favorite Folk...
Thanks Ryan. Here’s another of my favorites. First saw him in the summer of 1969, in Red River, NM. Been a fan ever since. He started as a folkie, then Outlaw Country (he wrote the “Outlaw Country anthem” Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother), then a rocker, blues, etc. but he’s always been a folk singer/songwriter at heart.
