for all I do, for all I've listened to, JJW takes me back to another world that I left so long ago. Thanks for always bringing me back!
@kurtanderson53495 ай бұрын
My sentiments exactly. JJW was the soundtrack of my twenties, when I learned many truths. Forty years on, this is nostalgia, but none the more vital for that.

I would put it in third place behind Emmylou Harris's (1st.) and then the composer's (Rodney Crowell) versions

Best show of my life at The SanFransisco Opera House in the 90s. So stinking much fun. And did he play. I hope to find you again in the next life. I sure did love you all through this one. Rest in peace. You make my life peaceful and happy still

Charles Gray I've listened to so many versions of this song. I've always liked Alison Krauss version the best. But after hearing this one for the first time I have to agree with you 100%. She's still a little bit purtier than he is though. 😎

I’m a life long JJW addict and I know it’s impossible to pick a favorite song! Every song I am listening to is my favorite. Till I gain control again is an Anthem to my Life and at 73 I accept that I will Never Gain Control of my life!!! I’m ok with that cause I just had a Lot of fun hanging with the Band and being Friends for Life !!! Hell ya gonna ask for ya money back?? JJW you are a lifelong friend and the Gonzo’s is the best band and friends when and wherever I get to see you...from Philly to Taos to Austin !! Happy Trails to you until we meet again.......

Fascinating how you can spend an entire lifetime with people who are so talented in it and know nothing about them (except for Kris Kristofferson's "the pilgrim # 33" and the line 'Jerry Jeff Walker had a lot to do with it'). Very grateful to have heard the man's music and will look for more. Great cover and thanks for the enlightment!
