    FYI, Towns Van Zant wrote it, Don Williams and Emmylou Harris had a hit then Emmylou Harris again. Pretty well known is folk/country circles.

    I love this version of this song it's the only time they sound just like this. They're playing to an empty Auditorium due to Hurricane Sandy

    Townes is one of the greatest song writers of all time. Sad that we’re distracted with all that other stuff.

    Sounds like the soundtrack for a Ken Burns documentary.
