I think Steve Earle doing a tribute album is fitting as Townes was his mentor for many years. Listen to the words of any of his songs and it's like listening to a beautiful story being told Townes is one of my all time songwriting icons.

We had torrents of it for 2 days this week so it feels well deserved and the promise of spring is breezing around everywhere today. I still think the Cowboy Junkies version rules, the Black Eyed Man album is perfect from start to finish, wish I had it playing right now. Give me a little of that southern rain...

It also may have been the first time I had heard of Townes Van Zandt, too. I can't wait to hear Steve's version of it. I first heard this song on a Cowboy Junkies record.
