I watched Blow on Netflix last night...I always forget how great that soundtrack is (even though Trey3216 reminds me quite often).

Looks like some Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt love on the thread. They are two my favorite songwriters. A favorite Guy Clark of mine is My Favorite Picture of You.



My favorite Townes Van Zandt is Quicksilver Dreams of Maria



And a fantastic version of Willie Nelson I Never Cared for You. His sister is on piano and Emmy Lou Harris with him on vocals. Love the guitar solo at the beginning.

Great stuff. Guy Clark is criminally underrated as a songwriter. When he passed last year we went to George's that night and wore his tracks out on the jukebox. One of my all-time favorites.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written for the electric guitar.

I saw him live in 1975 and always meant to do it again, but never got around to it. I had told my wife several times the last few years that I really wanted to go see him again, and I really wish that I had done it. It was very sad to see him go.

Yeah, I am not one that typically gets emotional when musicians, actors, etc. pass away, but losing Guy stung. Obviously this is one of his more famous songs, but it really is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in meh life:

I'm a huge fan of John Mark McMillan. This one is just in my bones today for some reason.

My favorite John Prine song.

7 and 7, Turnpike Troubadours--one of my favorite stories put into song.

Same here with most artists, but there are a few of them that you feel a different connection with. Someone that writes in a way that you relate to differently than others. When they go it really does hit you. For me Guy was one of those singer/songwriters. It's not just his songwriting, which was amazing, but hearing him sing his own stuff made it so much better. He didn't have a great voice measure by conventional standards and lots of way better singers recorded his songs, but they were always still best when Guy sang them. That's when you knew they were real, and not just songs.

Hell. Yes.

Here's a fun little tune by The Devil Makes Three

Speaking of Iris Dement...

Bruce Springsteen's Jungleland and Born to Run

I present a forgotten singer. RIP Joe.

This one by Mark Knopfler is gorgeous and sad, especially when you know the back story about the girl he sings about. Also, I want to own that National guitar he's playing. That is one beautiful instrument.

Hard to stop once someone says post a good song. This is Lyle Lovett doing a a classic song Robert Earl Keen wrote during their days as friends at Texas A&M.
