One of my favorite tunes, and certainly Willie's version is sublime...Don't normally call anything the "best," but this version is mighty close, indeed!

true artistry , not the junk he does these days.

❤love this .

My favorite river 🥃

I was 9 when this album was released. Dad had it within days of it's release. We listened to it every Saturday for years This is one of my favorite tracks. Sometime in the late 70's I heard The Carpenters version. I really like their take on it. I just turned 60. Miss you dad and our weekends listening to music instead of watching cartoons.

my favorite version

I peeked in to say goodnight And then I heard my child in prayer Send for me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair. All the stores were locked and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town no scarlet ribbons No scarlet ribbons for her hair. Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking. I peeked in and on her bed In gay profusion laying there Scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons Pretty scarlet ribbons for her hair. If I live to be a hundred I will never know from where Came those lovely scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair...

Western swing or what?

With the passing of Nanci and John... and sadly soon Iris... not to mention their lesser know peers... a special kind of music will be gone from this world... so Cherish it while we still can...

Only the Highwayman remains. Protect him at all costs.

1:49. Harmony

This song is so beautiful....brings back all old memories etc....also life is so short ?...❤

The legendary Mickey Raphael's harmonica on this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was my husband and I song. 45 years later, and I'm still listening to it. Miss you baby.

This is the saddest, hardest, song ever written. He knows he will never see her again. This means death. And at the end the song references a land with no pardon. Willie sung a beautiful sounding song, but if you list to the words, they are soul crushing.

Farewell September 2024

Few songs in the history of humanity have as much deep feeling as this.

Willy supports kamala and her pedophile policies... fuck him

Poetic ending 👏

Anyone else not able to play this video for some reason?

Cool

Chorus gives me shivers...Sounds like heaven on earth!

So why does he not sing the haunting intro into Stardust ? Hoagy Carmichael composed it to be sung complete. Listen to Nat King Cole

BRAVO from Acapulco......

Rock n roll before rock n roll

I bought this album on the bargain rack at some rundown record store in NY. Loved it, listened to it again and again. Thanks Gringotroller for the beautiful upload. This introduced me to a whole new genre of music I knew little about. I was a stoner and this was so dreamy, and created vivid imagery. I cleaned up for a long time, but nowadays I'm back to smoking and relaxing to some Willie style jazz.

Bye, Nanci...hope you and Prine are making great music "up there."
