Damn, that's powerful, its a keeper.

[@andrewgodly5739]

That beat is hypnotizing

[@asylumrain]

That middle guitar thing makes it so good. I know it’s not a guitar but what ever it is really adds that’s spice and seasoning. The guitar is the base food The spice is the middle guitar And seasoning is the banjo. Idk I must be hungry

[@WhistlingMushroom]

[@KKoje]

Only a real foodie can describe a performance like that.😂

[@st1rjool]

What a great interpretation of a great song. It was meant for them to play..

[@pasdeville]

indeed

[@dleigh8931]

Agreed

[@phillipnegron7790]

I cannot stop playing this song, it is absolutely magnificent

[@LLS710]

Hear the original. it's even better and much better sang.

[@lordoftheflam]

From Iran: One of the nicest music ever wrote. Many Persian appreciated such a song

[@robertrichman6873]

Awesome. Covered by many, perhaps you'd like to hear it performed by its composer, American folk legend Townes Van Zandt, who first recorded it in 1968. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gniwgItug9WoiJIsi=DydYo_MwupAMjI6-

I’ll miss you Clem, keep AJ safe ❤️

There's nothing like Towne Van Zandt's original but this cover is damn good!

[@jmc6687]

Amazing performance, this is as good as real folk gets.

[@RKPiano-vi8fq]

Their voices and those stringed instruments are so mesmerizing! I could listen to this all day.

And The Be Good Tanyas , they're amazing . Sorry I forgot to add that into my first comment aha .

[@Grendel650]

Once upon a time... I bought an album thinking it was by a small band I'd heard once called Blue Horses... That began my journey with The Tanyas... I adore this song ❤

[@gerardbarry-z9j]

I came across The Be Good Tanyas recently, not my genre but they are hypnotic and great songs

[@rtelkin2194]

Sometimes I don't know where this Dirty road is taking me Sometimes I don't know the reason why So I guess I'll keep gamblin' Lots of booze and lots of ramblin' It's easier than just waitin' around to die Well one-time friends I had a Ma I even had a Pa He beat her with a belt once cause she cried She told him to take care of me She headed down to Tennessee It's easier than just a-waitin' around to die I came of age and found a girl In Tuscaloosa bar She cleaned me out and she hid it on the sly Well I tried to kill the pain I bought some wine I hopped a train Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die Then a friend said he knew where Some easy money was We robbed a man and brother did we fly But the posse caught up with me Drug me back to Muskogee Now it's two long years, waitin' around to die Now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie His name is codeine And he's the nicest thing I've seen And together we're gonna wait around to die

[@paulklimack8540]

True music artists. So rare these days. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@pkoe7089]

These three beautiful women defined what it meant to play together as a group. Samantha Parton's concentration and attention to detail is stunning. In my dreams I'm playing lead or bass behind them. Regards, George Armstrong

[@maggieking6619]

Three women dedicated to a concept lost on most people today-true love for the music, the genre, the instruments, the lyrics....don't see much real musical talent and commitment to the craft noiwadays

[@heyitsalanhere]

Try DakhaBrakha...maybe NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert is a good one to start with... 🎶💜🎶

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The moment I hear this I get spellbound. And I am not coming out of this state only by thinking I am spellbound. No, it takes a harder grip to place my soul amongst the listeners. I just want to dive into this music, all the time.

[@paulrixson5828]

I can't tell you how much I love this band.

[@adriannemason5451]

What a powerful song, brought tears to my eyes

[@bigcorky4687]

That bango is killing me, this is so good

[@asylumrain]

Theirs a reason so many shows and games used this song. It’s amazing with this band

[@bmoipavitra8468]

Brilliant. My first time round these parts. Fantastic song, brilliant musicians and such mirth...waiting around to Die LIVE.

[@Dubmajicks]

The Tanya's are pretty kick ass, these women are beautiful inside and out. The details in the music present themself, and permeate throughout- Now this is MUSIC.🍀

[@themistermax]

I'm in love with Samantha. Seriously, though, this group is one of the few legit heirs to the true sound of American old timey music.

[@manuelvalencia1543]

Great band, great voices, great interpretation.

[@caminosb.1283]

at the Railway Club... so many memories, best years of my long life in that city...great find this video....

[@pkoe7089]

What beautiful playing and singing. Sam's voice mixes so well with Frazey. Listen how Sam and Trish keep the rhythm driving; it's just magic. Performances like this are rare. Beautiful, talented Canadian Hippy Chicks. Wow. Regards, George Armstrong

[@eclecticmusica]

Townes would be blown away.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Subtle, sweet, painful. Ascending.... It's all there Man. Canadian Folk is my thought Dan. Found them on a radio program I subscribe to. Starting to make it on mainstream radio now, at least here in Boston.

[@audgardstudio]

live version is even better then studio!

[@bryanmannoia8410]

I was just about to write the same thing.

[@DaveFisher1]

it's a great performance but you gotta hand it to whomever produced the studio version. love the booming bass and i miss the haunting harmonica in this live version

[@2Chickaboom2]

Dave Fisher I agree, whomever was playing the harmonica on the studio version was possessed. Not one single extraneous note from any of them.

[@AaronJames-oq2ii]

@@DaveFisher1 Can't agree more. This version is great, but the harmonica in the studio version is amongst the most perfect things I have ever heard. I will often just skip to the end to listen to the harmonica!

[@NirvanaTm34]

there are no words needed. their live performances are phenomenal.

[@areisus1989]

Increíble versión!

[@raymondhoneycutt1145]

This is musical ASMR to me. Wonderful in every way. Townes would be proud.

[@ozdenvezir3257]

I heard a small part of the song for the first time in the "Bit by a Dead Bee" episode of the TV series Breaking Bad. I found it on KZbin as soon as the episode ended. I'm not a person who comments a lot, but this is the most emotional song I've heard lately. It gets into people's minds and I can't stop myself from listening to it over and over again. excellent musical work

[@daviddishman7491]

Nice version of a song by one of my favourite songwriters - Townes RIP

[@oldsoul_oner]

Wow, I can't believe this. That's the railways club in Vancouver, I have also performed there in 2023, I really wish I was at this good Tanya's show in 2001, I was only 1 year old :( please do a tour again and stop in Vancouver!

[@masahuku5673]

Great !

[@eshasri1]

Love their rendition of this song.😍

[@sharonhearne5014]

I’m here because of Townes the Texas songwriter who composed this song but I like this version.

[@ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣΕΖΝΕΠΙΔΗΣ]

Mesmerizing ! Absolute delight! Bravo

[@Tatjana.B]

I love this song in their version...damn good!

[@smilebot484]

What a great sound. Great harmony.

[@lillyandruben]

this is an amazing performance

[@polko59]

Man my parents got to see them live around 05 I think and apparently it was a tiny venue with like 50 people and TBGTs were on ground level, so it was just a jam sesh with fans all around. I was probably out partying or some shit at the time, but damn I wish I had been there. I've since become a huge fan of these guys (my parents have been listening for years), and seeing them up close and personal would be a treat. "His name is codeine, and he's the nicest thing I've seen, and together we'll wait around to die" amen to that sisters.

[@titoaldunate]

Bigby Wolf Hear the original Townes Van Zandt recording, stuff of legend

[@randomjunkies6022]

I love how you have a Bigby Wolf pfp, and this song was used in another Telltale game around 3 years after your comment! What a coincidence

[@JB1877-z8b]

The more I listen to their music the more I love it! Amazing harmonies, they blend just perfectly together. One of my absolute all time favorite groups.

They're special! I never can play this song only once.

[@francescomoretta656]

An absolute song! A masterpiece full of great music and poetry! A sonic enchantment!!!

[@magografico]

A lot of people talk about how great the show Breaking Bad is, and indeed it is one of the all-time greatest, but not only in the realm of directing, writing and filmmaking itself; BB has shown me some of the best songs I've ever heard, and I mean A LOT of songs. The producers of this show did a masterful job, and for that, I'll always be truly thankful.

[@steveklimczak3568]

Was this song used in Breaking Bad?! I’ve been a huge fan from the start, BCS too of course and fully Agree about the creators’ use of music but I don’t recall this song in either series

[@mexicanamerican3097]

@@steveklimczak3568 It was i believe in that scene where walter sneaks out of the hospital and then to his home to hide the gun and money from his family. Season 2 i think, after the Tuco abduction incident.

Can't get enough. I listened to Townes performance. Pretty straightforward, dry and matter of fact. These players made it emotional. They evoked the mood while showing off impressive pickin' skills without overdoing it. In fact they were very delicate and aware of the mood. Somebody else said they put it on loop. So did I.😊

[@pointer90]

Townes version is one of my all time faves. I disagree with your assessment. This, however, is a great tribute.
