Willie is a much better guitarist than he is usually given credit for. Technically sound in all keys, knows the fretboard like it was the back of his hand, and has a totally unique style with unmatched voicing. Willie also knows what notes not to play. No exhibitionism at the expense of the music. When he departs America should declare a national day of mourning.

Love this version. Emmy is completely haunting and I love the way she looks at Steve at the beginning of the track and mentally forces him to join her in harmony. Just magical. Willies is a legend. He is great in this version with Emmy and as usual Emmy adds such richness to his voice. Just a wonderful track.

I would have paid all the fucking money in the world to be a fly on that wall. I grew up in the 80's and 90's, and moved to Houston in '00 from the swamps of Louisiana. I was introduced to his music there by a couple of other musicians. They introduced me to Earle's music first, and then to Townes', and a plethora of others. However, it was Townes' music that blew my mind and spoke to my soul, in a way that music just never had up until that point. He was such a tragic and enigmatic character, kind of out of place and out of time. He seemed to come from outer space, but from a planet similar to Texas, but a little different and a little better somehow. Wish I could have seen him play. Speaking of that, I need to get my shit together and catch a Prine performance before it's too late. I keep missing him.

High praise. Townes is a cult figure in Texas for sure. I'm wearing a shirt that says " Listen to Townes Van Zandt " right now and I've had people pick up my tab in restaurants just because I was wearing it. I'm particularly partial to the genius that Townes is. Steve Earle is a cousin of mine so I got put onto Townes at a young age and got to meet him when I was 7 years old . All downhill from there haha .

My cat is named for Townes Van Zant, I love his music so much, he was a lyrical genius, I got too see Emmylou with Rodney Crowell in 2015, who is sitting to the right of Emmylou on the stage of ACL, heard her warm up of Pancho & Lefty and Wheels {GP), her performance with Rodney was outstanding. We got the last two tickets to a Rodney Crowell concert in a beautiful venue, in the small PNW town we live in & saw Rodney November 19th, 2019, and he played Pancho & Lefty for his encore. Little did we know that would be our last live concert, throughout the pandemic. Really looking forward to our next concert, whenever that might be.

Ah, how things come full circle. I 'discovered' Townes courtesy of Emmylou's rendition of Pancho on Luxury Liner; I first heard about Emmylou from my friend in the summer of 1970 - he was going to Georgetown and raved about about Roy Buchanan and this young, beautiful singer (Emmylou) who apparently was singing (and waitressing) at some club he hung out; heard and saw Emmylou for the first time backing Gram Parsons as part of GP and the Fallen Angels (I think this was in 1972) - 10 seconds into their first song (I recall as We'll Sweep Out the Ashes In the Morning) it seemed to me that she was in love with Gram - she had that look - but by the time GP came out, I was convinced she was the best backup singer/harmony vocalist I'd ever heard (which I still believe to this day), so after Gram's death and her emergence as a solo artist, I've been a huge fan and by 1975 have been convinced she has been the BEST female singer in music - the purest voice I've ever heard, whether in rock or country. I consider Pancho and Lefty one of the 10 greatest songs ever written....
