Townes van Zandt, who wrote the song, is shown many times in the video. The easiest place to describe is near the end of the song he's the guy with the guitar in the group of people sitting around several tables with white tops, but he's here & there all through it. One of Townes' best songs is "To Live is to Fly." Best version, Cowboy Junkies.

Willie and Merle had just finished recording their album when Willie heard a version of this song by Emmylou Harris. He woke Merle up at 4am yelling "We gotta record this song!" They immediately went into the studio and cut it, and not only did it become the album's title track it became a monster #1 hit.

The first federales that they do close ups of in most of the shots, who is the one with the guitar at the end, is Townes Van Zandt,, who wrote this song. His life was tragic but he.was an amazing song writer and incredible on the guitar. Highly recommend checking him out. Also Merles live songs, with very few exceptions, blow away his studio work as far as voice quality.

New Comers to Willie do not realize how legendary his guitar pickin’ was. There is a great clip called “Willie’s Guitar, Trigger” This very old guitar is such a powerful staple to Willie, that, when Willie was in trouble with the IRS, he had to hide Trigger, because of the money they (IRS) could gain in an auction.

If you ask 5 people to define "traditional" country music, you'll get five different answers. It's always fundamentally been a marketing label, featuring musicians with a rich complexity of backgrounds and styles. But, trends will do what trends will do, and certain sounds get developed and associated with certain eras that people look back on with nostalgia. I doubt there's any musical genre this doesn't happen to.

I did see Willie in concert 1 time. He was already getting older and slowing down. He was live of course, and every song was impeccable, but he didn't talk to the crowd. I was kinda disappointed , but I'm always impressed when a live performer is spot on, every single time. I gotta say the same about Brooks and Dunn too (though they played and had fun with the crowd!! ). Ronnie did not miss a beat, all the energy and perfection, right there. in every single song and Kix was a joy as always!!
