Great singer and beautiful woman Gillian Welch ❤

Her writing and singing, his playing = magical sorcery

So grateful for these two. Such beauty.

This is the song that got me through my beloved husband dying. I just had to make it through another day. By morning I would be through those hills and gone. 2018 and still missing him.

These 2 have contributed so many songs that have become essential additions to the folk Americana catalog. A treasure.

good lord these two

Every time I hear these guys, the hair rises on the back of my head . This is just superb.

You need more beautiful people like these two in the world.

These 2 are just Different Level ❤️ Absolutely Unquestionably THE REAL DEAL. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dave's playing on this is fantastic

"...and you cannot hold a lover that is gone."

There are no words for how much I love these two singing this song. This song gets into your soul.

Watching Gillian's face during the song, you see how she crafts each word, reaches highs, closes vowels. Real 1-woman singing workshop.

It doesn't get more real than this.

Barroom girls floors me. I had same reaction as Townes when I first heard them in 1996 on NPR. I was so moved I wrote a fan letter right then. They responded with a letter on an old fashioned type writer.

Sounds like Heaven even when they're just tuning up. They can't help it.

"Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping Silent 'neath the blanket green and blue O, but I hear the silence they are keeping I'll bring all of their promises to you"

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes It's snowin' on Raton Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone Bid the years good-bye you cannot still them You cannot still the circles of the sun You cannot count the miles until you feel them And you cannot hold a lover that is gone It's snowin' on Raton Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone Mother thinks the road is long and lonely Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely I'm thankful that old road is a friend of mine It's snowin' on Raton Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping Silently the blanket green and blue Oh that I would hear the silence they are keeping I'll bring all their promises to you It's snowin' on Raton Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone

Gillian & David I only found you at the twilight of my life now at 76 but as a player and one that appreciates music in the true form you both have achieved the highest regards of the ones that are still traditional in there approach With love and best wishes from your friends in Nova Scotia Canada Keep it up

Sheer beauty, with a generous helping of genius.

Positively divine ... I love how Dave is getting a Mandolin sound from the high registers of the guitar!

I can't tell you how many times I've been over Raton Pass, but this song brings back many memories.

im so glad i discovered them some years ago. so beautiful music and their voices: puuuh!!!! goosebumps everytime

This just cracked my heart open and let the light in 💜

Now imagine that I kept coming back to this session, to listen to my newly found musical heroes playing this beatiful song, and then finally decided to look up that gambler guy that were on about everytime before the got to actually play, and now i can't stop listen to Townes, thank you Gillian and Dave!

We all knew that there must have been some kind of torch-passing from Townes to these two, and this clip is a welcome confirmation. Their rendition of his song is a beautiful illustration of how music moves and grows through a culture that serves as a nutritional medium. Gillian Welch has proved to be a worthy inheritor of the embarrassment of riches that is American music. The interesting challenge, then, is who has got what it takes to learn from her?

This is a wonderful treasure !!!!

I love your conviction to historical accuracy. I love your conviction to truth. No narcissism here. Blessings always

Great interview & performance. R.I.P. Townes Van Zandt.

absolutely love watching these two perform together. they compliment each other so well, both in harmonizing and guitar playing styles

Can we just go ahead and place guitar God status on Dave. I mean seriously. So elegant.

Wonderful memories, these two artist are such precious gems !

Damn. How amazing would a TVZ cover album by these two be???

What legend Townes Van Zandt is! And these guys are right on his heels!

Great song, great version, couldn't you listen to these two all day. Thanks for all the toons Gillian and Dave!

One of my favorite Townes songs, from one of my favorite albums. Love this version!

Heart 2 Heart. Beautiful couple.

Always a Gillian Welch fan, this is gorgeous

That was just gorgeous.....

These two are amazing together.

I was in Nashville for several years tried once to put myself out there and saw right off it wasn’t the days of my distant cousin Loretta. Don’t think they like my haircut ha. I knew I had talent but oh well whatever wasn’t worth my time to bother with. God Bless any raw talent rolls into that town. They are known for not knowing talent.

When I saw it was Gillian and Dave at my hometown radio station I had to listen! Write a memoir guys, you have some amazing stories!

Love this song. Just found this version...so good!

I can't help but think of all the times I made that drive. Each time I have this songs pops in my head.

I'm melting away

Discovered these guys a few weeks ago. I swear they could just hold their guitars and talk to each other and I would buy the album!!!

Dave & Gillian ... thx for teaching me this song!!!!!

I'm late arriving in the TVZ universe. Thankful to make this my introduction to another of his greats.

Believe it or not ... this was the very first Townes songs I heard that I knew was Townes (I had heard others do his songs before).This rendition is simply beautiful and sad at the same time (and Dave's guitar playing is out-of-this-world).

Beautiful music...thanks I needed that this morning!

These 2 are the best

A lovely version of this song. So good.

Great interview...love these guys so much...listen to GW and DRM all the time...drove from Philadelphia to Charlottesville in April 2014 to see them at the Paramount and just saw DRM at Union Station Philly in November 2015...can't get enough of them.

Beautiful as always.

So beautiful!

Dave's linear movement is perfection

Real honest music and people

Thanks for France: you have fans there!!!

Back in the 70's I lived in Amarillo and traveled to Raton, special song to me.

Love the DJ!

love this

Good Lord ya'll. You do amazing Neil but damn, that hits the soul. Townes is happy, im sure.

when they tune it sounds a bit like cora tuning ! sweet and beautiful they do this townes jewel justice!

American Royalty.

It’s so great

love this tune, ol' Townes and also version with Blaze helping him out, but sure enjoy this one too by Dave and Gillian, I think it funny the mention of the album Late and Great etc. as it was first Townes album I bought years ago lol A friend of mine, Carla Torgerson of The Walkabouts told be a few stories of touring with Townes back in mid 90s :)

Love tvz! Great job! 👏

Wonderful.

❤️

The Lady dont kow every guitar loves her

i love..

great

Who in the hell disliked this

I saw her 18 years ago in the seattle underground, and her and dave were GREAT. just her and dave and there two Guitars. but time sure goes by fast cause her grey hair is making her look older then she is.

they are the best

Yeah VERY strange for me. I honestly never heard these cats play until now but I’ve ALWAYS been a HUGE Townes fan.

She sounds like she's from Nashville too.

Can someone tell me the name of this song please? I can't quite make it out. Thanks 💽

How I wish they were more prolific.

Gillian lookin like she about about to go burglar someone's house.

4:16

She easily can does Joni Mitchell songs i guess

Elle joue sur une Martin et pas sa Gibson !!!!

It was beautiful and all but take your hat off inside pal.

These two are always in my playlist, but it's been a few years since I actually seen them....Gillian looks like hell....hope she isn't living as hard as Towns did as well.

When the wind don't blow in amarillo And the moon along the gunnison don't rise Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes It's snowin' on raton Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone Mother thinks the road is long and lonely Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely I'm thankful that old road is a friend of mine Bid the years good-bye you cannot still them You cannot turn the circles of the sun You cannot count the miles until you feel them And you cannot hold a lover that is gone Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping Silently the blanket green and blue All that I shall hear the silence they are keeping I'll bring all their promises to you
