2017 Austin Music Awards - Tribute to Townes Van Zandt

[@catdaddy3302]

Townes was the greatest songwriter of my generation. That includes Dylan, Guy Clark, and bunch of East Coast writers. Townes wrote my heart songs. He expressed what I couldn’t. Thank you Townes. ✌🏻

[@briandillon8041]

I moved out of Austin to go to a smaller town that year

[@gregmacdonald3559]

Beautiful sound. Thank you Gentlemen 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻

[@willie3262]

Lyle Lovett's take on "If I Needed You" is I think the perfect rendition, and Joe Ely + Joel Guzman doing "White Freightliner Blues" (not here, unfortunately) is my favorite take on that (among many other phenomenal renditions by many musicians)

Charlie Sexton shreds

[@hermanblume275]

Seen Charlie sling his guitar with a cast on his wrist in Joe's band in Lubbock in the early '80s when Sexton was a mere pup...

[@timfranczyk3293]

Clay Pigeons is a Blaze Foley tune

[@elizabethheyenga9277]

yes he says it in the intro....

[@sealevelbear]

Great music!!!

[@chuckfarkas3067]

nice

[@leebuck571]

Wow, great cover, thank you.

[@jp-a1a729]

Lee Buck If you’re referring to Clay Pigeons, it’s not a cover. Blaze wrote and recorded Clay Pigeons, John Prine did a great cover of it.

[@leebuck571]

Pretty sure that's not Blaze playing.

[@peezysmith5245]

Lee Buck Yep blaze is very dead lol.
