Thank you Steve, Guy would be smiling.

Waylon from The Wire singing my favorite Guy Clark song. What a time to be alive.

[@tedsmall2398]

Love it. Guy could pick me up no matter what. This was an honest treat

[@retriever19golden55]

A gorgeous and heart-tugging song from Guy Clark, who was one of Steve's early mentors. Most of that Austin group is gone now, except Steve and Rodney Crowell, and the ageless Willie. RIP, Blaze, Townes, Guy, Susanna, Jerry Jeff, Skinny Dennis

[@charliebrowne3509]

And Richard Dobson. Brilliant one and all.

Steve you are The last man standing... Love from Sweden

[@robertking7269]

Wow. Better than Diamonds cover. Sung with the heart only a great songwriter can sing. That’s ones definitely a save to play on repeat. Thanks Steve and the recording engineers for the great sound

[@doodeen]

Greetings from UK.A wonderful version of one of the greatest songs ever written about the good ol' USA .

[@jipsigal]

Just heard, this morning, we lost a great outlaw... Jerry Jeff Walker passed away, Friday night, from the past years battle with cancer. Another legend gone. I am beyond saddened, grieving for a man I never met, but whose presence and impact on this music-living gal's heart was huge. Thank you, Steve, for sharing this poignant ode to a true 'outlaw country' soul... REST IN PEACE, Jerry Jeff. Godspeed.

Even tho JJ didn’t write this...

[@jipsigal]

@@caesarstrings Yes. But JJ’s was the cover that many of us heard first, that introduced us to JJW’s gift.

[@balthasardenner5216]

@@caesarstrings Not really. If someone covered Nothing Compares 2 U and someone wrote a comment about how much they loved Sinead O'Connor would that be misplaced, because actually Prince wrote the song? No.

Love Guy and Steve. Love this tribute.

[@a.vestige]

Dear God, but that was achingly beautiful. Thank you Steve Earle. ♥️

[@robertguatelli9178]

Steve Earle always does justice, and then some, for any Townes and Guy song

[@earloutdoors3286]

phenomenal -- a gem of a song sung by the best

[@gpear123]

God damn, that is a beautiful song.

[@Halffastpaddler]

Holy smokes. This is beautiful. Completely honorable to Guy Clark, but still Earle-ified to be an honest cover. Just...beautiful.

[@whitebluesky6932]

Pretty song, Steve sounds good, always love listening to him.

[@malcolmplatt3768]

Perfect, you mixed up Clark and Walker into a wonderful Earle cocktail. Thanks.

[@barbarasteed3966]

Steve still got it 👍 👌

Listen to the truth from the the greats. Stay strong.

[@selwynvanderfluug3936]

Sublime, raw conviction

[@alanbeel9871]

First time I saw You in concert was in Tucson, right after 9/11. I figured that You didn't like flight jackets with Air Force patches. Got to introduce my close friends to Your music when I got back to Grand Junction, Colorado and bought them tickets to enjoy Your performances when You got through this valley. Your music, and Your Mentors' way, have influenced mine. Thanks for humbling me at the Rialto Theater in Tucson, right after 9/11. I thought that I was Billy Baddass wearing my flight jacket, but You looked right at me and said, "There are going to be some heroes in this Country, and not all of them will be wearing uniforms ". "

[@seedy_vegan]

Love this cover, Excellent!!!

[@deepseadweller09]

amazing version

[@semidav1]

Brilliant!

[@mikewilder618]

Yeah Martin, you’re right. My older sister and I were just talking this morning, about this song. And she said it was written by Guy Clarke. Jerry Jeff, made it famous. Those were the days of the Cosmic Cowboys, as they called them back then.

[@birgithusom7338]

A great tribute to Guy Clark :)

[@MrCraigparkersf]

Rest in peace Jerry Jeff you’re sadly missed right now. Great rendition Steve thank you your Singing from the heart

[@lisaknaggs1088]

Guy Clark wrote it, but fair to say that he and JJW both "owned" it :)

[@JClaus1221]

Guy's and this version are Texas Outlaw Country as they should be, Jerry Jeff'a version was as LA Country Singer/Songwriter Scene as you would ever find. I love both versions for what each is saying. Guy's was remorseful and defiant and hopeful. Jerry Jeff's was up yours and I am leaving this hellhole for somewhere better.

[@lisaknaggs1088]

Are both of those microphones phantom power and what do they plug into a curious I want that setup

[@pastemagazine]

The vocal mic is the sE Gemini II which is a tube mic (it has its own power supply). The acoustic guitar mic is the Shure sm81, which is phantom powered, yes. Both mics are plugged into a Rupert Neve Designs 5024 and then into Pro Tools. Thanks for listening!

Dang Jerry Jeff died

[@thesongchef]

Jerry Jeff's Walker's song I think.

[@MrFreerangechicken]

I think Guy Clark wrote it

[@jorgecameselle378]

I think this song was written by Jerry Jeff Walker's fellow Texan songwriter, Guy Clark, who released his own version in 1975.

[@lukejackson6456]

@@jorgecameselle378 nope guy Guy Clark wrote about leaving L.A. and moving to Nashville.

[@peezysmith5245]

JORGE CAMESELLE Guy clark wrote, theres a line for his wife susanna in it for christs sake.

[@caesarstrings]

You thought wrong 😂

[@BigBadBosco]

The only version I like is Guy's. It's the only one that sounds real...because he lived the lyrics.

[@retriever19golden55]

Guy's is the best. Steve does a great job here; Guy and Susanna practically raised him, he's said, so there's a lot of emotion here too.

[@alive1945]

Shameful. Period.
