“Come on Jack, that son of a bitch is comin’.” Sad and sweet song. I like the Guy Clark version much more than the Highwaymen version, even though they are all such great voices and artists. I guess it’s because it’s his own story… anyway your version is more aligned to that take, feeling more personal, I think. Though how you managed to do that while doing all the complexities of the guitar - especially in this piece which seems bquite ornate - I don’t quite understand. 🙌
Thank you! 🙏❤️ I couldn't agree more about the versions - Guy's is an absolute masterpiece, and The Highwaymen version seems almost too busy. Of course all four of them are icons and tremendous songwriters in their own right, but sometimes it's hard for a group like that to live up to expectations. See also: The Traveling Wilburys. It took a lot of practice (and a lot of takes!) to fit all the pieces together for this, but totally worth it. It's right up there with my all-time favourite tunes. 🤗
@@johnny_amish Yes I was thinking of the Travelling Ws too. This happens in opera a lot too, where you get a lot of big starry people in a room together, but it doesn’t always add up to big chemistry. See also: Feed the World. Overfed, overbalanced…

@@isaiahsays Ah! I didn't know it was an opera phenomenon as well, but it makes sense!
Outstanding! Worthy of another version. 👍👍
Thank you Arturo! 🙏🐶 Such a great tune!
I don't know this song, but you did a great job!! 💙🚂💙
Thank you Kim! 💙🚃 Johnny, Willie, Waylon, & Kris' version from the 80's is the most well known, but I actually prefer the Guy version. 🤗
