    These guys are great. Everynote they play is there for a reason. They never overplay. The balance, the tone, the melodies are just right. That's what wise artists do. They understand the song is what's important. Hats off.

    I’ve heard many versions of this song before... and there’s no doubt about it for me... this is by far the best ever!

      DID STEVE EARLE WRITE THIS SONG? DIDN'T THE BAND RECORD IT A LONG TIME AGO? I AM ALMOST 50 SO, BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT IS BEFORE MY TIME! BUT STEVE EARLE ISN'T AND I LISTEN TO HIM ALOT. I DIG THIS BAND AND I WAS JUST WONDERING

    Just when every ray of hope was gone
    I should have known that you would come along
    I can't believe I ever doubted you
    My old friend the blues
    Another lonely night, a nameless town
    If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around
    'Cause I know I can always count on you
    My old friend the blues
    Lovers leave and friends will let you down
    But you're the only sure thing that I've found
    No matter what I do I'll never lose
    My old friend the blues
    Just let me hide my weary heart in you
    My old friend the blues
