Excellent 1976 cinema verite style documentary capturing performances and musings from the likes of Townes Van Zandt, David Allan Coe, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Steve Young, etc. whole thing is kind of a hangout vibe, essential viewing if you’re interested in outlaw country at all

This is the third Townes album I have listened to, and I think my favorite so far !! It’s a live album recorded in the late 70s. Townes is a songwriter who seldom wastes a word, and his storytelling feels both personal and mythical at once. He weaves his own life into both the straighforward ballads, and the outlaw country character portraits. Waiting Around to Die has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. My favorite song on the album at the moment is White Freight Liner Blues, a candid track about his struggles with heroin, and being sadenned to see his friends ailed by the same affliction. Townes is truly one of the great American songwriters.

if you're a TVZ fan, you've probably seen his performances of Waiting Round to Die and Pancho and Lefty from this documentary, but this is the other standout performance in the film imo. haven't found a version of this song that touches Crowell's.

🎵this dude is kind of a dickhead, probably always but especially now, but I will always forgive it because for a few years he was more in tune with whatever power pulses through this universe than any musician before or since. it hits harder in the spring or fall than right now, but it’s the sound of someone discovering all the magic and beauty they’re capable of and channeling it masterfully
