Just found this due to Willie Nelson releasing it. I have to tell you I love me some Rodney Crowell and some Willie Nelson! Both versions are beautiful.
Same here, saw Willie Nelson's youtube and had to find out more. Great song, strong and straight forward.
Rodney's newest album is good, bluesy. Chicago Sessions. Enjoy! He covers a townes tune on it, too.
The best song writter. Great melodies, great voice, great words. Very smart man who has been very successful.
Heard the Willie version first. Crazy good song!
What an amazing story teller. Love me some Rodney Crowell
I never heard this song before, it's fantastic also his voice... Thanks for sharing🥰🥰🥰
Rodney Crowell is a Global Treasure / Exceptional Human ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this Rodney- we have forgotten these people with all that's going on these days.
Dang them poets! Making us think and feel and hope for a more peaceful just future... Music is syrup for the soul... ☮️&❤️4ALL!!! Glenngineer.
Willie brought attention to Rodney and to Townes and so many songwriters
Rodney had been writing hits as a contract writer and playing in Emmylou Harris' Hot Band years before Willie recorded any of Rodney's work. As for
Townes, he was another product of the Emmylou machine of the early 70s. He was a legend among the Nashville and Texas songwriters from the early '70s on.
Willie brought me here! Great song :) . . . (Willie makes the song better with added mexican ambience)
Thanks Rodney, so well said, only way to add to it would be to have Emmy Lou put some vocal harmonies on it.
Great idea, she enhances, and enchants every thing she does, and whoever she works with just ices the cake every time.
Rodney Crowell is a regular visitor to Ireland...he is a great singer and musician.....
Ireland has a border
Whoa..solid songwriting...seriously awesome the way he brings such visuals and emotion to his lyrics. Love this!!
The Best Living TEXAS SINGER SONGWRITER PEACE 🕊️☮️
Gently powerful and moving on a level that is submerged in many people.
Great song! My son just married a Maria so the song real came at a special time for my family. And the fact you and Willie worked together on this song is the best memory. This song will not leave your mind lyrics and melody is what I like in my life and my mind. Thank you for your professionalism.
Fantastic music, Well done. Looks like a Childers.. touch of the Cash.. classic that will never be. Sad state of modern music.
Love it.... Rodney is a treasure
beautiful the more you listen to it the deeper it gets, wow
A sensational version by Willie...Willie is an amazing man..a great singer, a great musician, and a unique human being... comhgairdeas leat a Liam ❤
Willie's version is good but you realize that Rodney wrote it and performed it first, right?
That's a keeper.
Another great one! Thanks Rodney.
A gem of a man
Love ya' Rodney. ❤ Regards from Britain. 🇬🇧🤠
Absolutely love Rodney's song writing and voice. I have a life long dream to write and record with him. Vince James
There is no one better.
So classy!
Love this
GREAT.....THANK YOU !!!!
heard his name in one of Steve Lukathers interview and have to say its beautiness just blows me away
Love this Rodney has always been a favorite.
Can't believe I ran across this one the day after it was posted. Very nice.
Banger!
Captured that one....
What a living legend he is..
I saw these 2 guys last night in Ponte Vedra. It was a great show and I never heard the mandolin player make any mistakes. The tone was great. They had another guy on acoustic lead and it sounded full and fabulous. I never missed bass and drums for a single minute.
: ) looking back I don't know why I felt qualified to critique the mandolin player... never played a mandolin. But it was a great show.
magnifico
Love this song!! And I LOVE my LR Baggs in my Custom Martin 🙏
Heard this on the Satellite Radio Outlaw Channel at work today, very profound song in my opinion.
Me too, only after a grocery run and a new gummie!
thankful from germany ...

Rodney is Americana Country
The consummate storyteller.
Willi thats is it!!!!!!!!
I can imagine Joe Ely singing this song. A Ely style ballad. Lets see if Joe Ely does a cover version too.😄
Wonderful x
God Bless All
Good ol Houston boy right there!
Great job guys!
Love this song, love this artist, love this cover. It’s a musical hat trick.
He co wrote it.
This is not the cover, Willie Nelson's is the cover, just saying, it's a great song.
Great song 🎵 Rodney !
Is that a OLD SILVERTONE guitar
another thumbsup
Used to have a few Rodney Crowell cassettes way back when. I guess I’m dating myself. Oh well good music.
🤩
I heard Willy sing it first and it was just way out of character for him! Glad my cousin is a songwriter and musician he told me who wrote this song 👍🤠
Thanks for the mandolin @ 4:00, Eamon McLoughlin.
nice
Aw c'mon, a credit for the mando player please! (Compelling song Rodney!)
Who are the two people who went to Federal prison he sings of?
Maybe?...Border Patrol agents Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean were involved in an incident where they fired their service pistols at a fleeing illegal alien drug smuggler near the United States-Mexico border. This event led to their arrest, trial, and subsequent conviction for shooting the suspect and obstructing justice by defacing the crime scene. They were sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison, respectively, but their sentences were later commuted by President Bush in 2009 and they were granted full pardons by President Trump in 2020

Wow
Eamon!
Who's the guy who comes in on the guitar? Is that L.R. Baggs?
Mandolin player shat all over this tune at the end. If you’re gonna make an interest then make sure you’ve got your shit together! Great song though. Lovely.
fire that mandolin player! 4 mistakes in one solo. Get John Jorgenson for this performance ( just like on the album)
He is fantastic fiddler with the voice of an angel.
Also 2 octave strings out of tune.
Lot of pressure walking in like that. He wasn't too shabby
Willie just covered this it's on his new album
And yet he endorsed Biden in 2020 and the party that has fought Texas every step of the way…
I wonder if his cover represents a change of heart, or simply an opportunity to sing such a moving song.
@@daviddickinson1993 thank God he hasn't had a change of heart.
His views are still great. Blue Wave all the way
He's just doing this cuz he likes Rodney their old friends.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist I take it you have a bifurcated brain.
If Willie is that blue, it’s pretty disingenuous to sing a song about the plight of men who work on a border the left pretends doesn’t exist.
No border patrol in your family? Then why give a shit, right?
@@daviddickinson1993 Crawl back under your rock, trump-lover.
Is this Willie Nelson's song?
❤ This is great story telling beautifully done. I heard Willie Nelson do this from his new album and thought it was brilliant. I had to see who wrote it and performed it and it blows you away. I loved both versions. But if you write songs and stories like this you really have to work to screw it up. Absolute corker. That means bloody brilliant in case a few U. S. boys take offence. Just fantastic.
God bless!
Thanks Rodney, so well said, only way to add to it would be to have Emmy Lou put some vocal harmonies on it.
