The lyrics are by Townes Van Zandt whose pen has been stilled but he will never be forgotten. His greatness will live forever through his beautiful lyrics.
I love what he once said about the way Mickey's voice touched him.....
"It was really funny trying to explain. I can’t call it ‘explain’ but I’d tried to tell Jeanene [Townes’ wife] about the sound of Mickey’s voice and the guitar on a good night at the same time. It’s hard, you can’t do it. It’s like from outer space. I’ve heard about people trying to explain a color to a blind person. Like Helen Keller. There’s no way to do it."
Two of the world's greatest songwriters. . each one knew they were in the presence of greatness, a mutal admiration.
