Billy is a cultural icon. He's so committed to his heroes, breathes them new life, with re-imagination, covers and his own originals with thems styles. Therefore, making him and them immortal. 💕

Nope, I totally agree with this. No one knows who Townes Van Zandt is. This dude is keeping him and a lot of other cool influences alive for another generation. Just cause you know don't mean everyone else does. Townes is still to this day criminally unknown.

Hope you don’t use “slip away” in 3 verses: please use the original lyrics-they matter to the story.

Billy's version of "Pancho and Lefty" is my favorite since Emmy Lou Harris covered this classic ... I love it!!!

Billy is a true bringer of music through his heart and talent bringing these songs to a new generation - i heard Emmylou Harris sing this when i was in my 20s back in the 70s a sad story relevant today i am afraid ❤

Agree, but you should listen to Townes. HE's the real deal!

@breathplay112 Жыл бұрын

Why you need the tab when you got something better here? You can slow down the speed and not only listen but see exactly how he plays it

@hemidolful Жыл бұрын

No kidding Townes is incredible. It just makes it easier with the tab my dude, the video is a bit choppy-no hate just love man, good to all.

@brmahoney27 Жыл бұрын

It's nice but I was disappointed he didn't fingerpick it like Townes.

@JasonUmbrellabird 11 ай бұрын

It's fairly ordinary strumming and picking. If you can play guitar to a level of accompanying yourself you should beable to do this without tab...

Billy does the one thing that most Jerry/Deadheads don't realize that Jerry did. Forget the tye dyes, long solos, drugs, etc. Jerry learned songs. He knew 100s. Most Deadheads I know are still playing Me and My Uncle or Scarlet. But bluegrass (like jazz) is a style where you have to learn songs and melodies. Jerry started there and never looked back. Billy's got the same thing. Both dig deep and played killer B-cuts... like this one.

@wshow11 6 ай бұрын

This Townes Van Zandt song was hardly considered a B side for anyone that cut it, as far could see , it's been a hit song for others, and should be a hit for Billy. I thoroughly agree with you on Billy, the caveat being that he finds great songs by great writers.

@jimrebr 6 ай бұрын

This is no B-cut, it’s an amazing CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Jerry and you are right about him, but you obviously haven’t been educated enough about music, start listening and learning before ever calling Pancho and Lefty a B-cut, it just shows your ignorance, sorry man, but my words are truth. Do you also think Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Willy Nelson or any of the many musicians who have covered Townes Van Zandt B musicians??? Themselves fighting words.

The only reason they recorded P&L, is Willy and Merle needed one last song to finish their album, Willy’s daughter brought him a copy of Emmylou Harris (and Rodney Crowell) covering TMZ and Willy said “That’s the song!”, It was 3am but Willy woke Merle up and made him record it immediately and yes it went to #1!

Imho the way BMFS reinterprets the guitar part for flatpicking enhances Townes' original masterpiece. Billy probably doesn't have better vocals than Emmylou Harris or Jason Isbell (no offense intended, that's a tall order), but the melancholic beauty of his instrumental chord progressions is second-to-none amongst any version of Pancho and Lefty I've ever heard, and elevate it (for me) to the best version of this song in existence.

@richardjacobs8996 Жыл бұрын

The Federales did NOT let Pancho “slip away” in verse 2, and Lefty in 4. If you care about TVZ get the lyrics right… not Willie (great case his rendition is…)
