[Bm] [B]
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you and thank you again.
Oh, this is nice.
[E] You have this in a 42?
That's yours.
Our next guest, this is very nice ladies and gentlemen.
He's a Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter.
Look at this.
Here's the [B] new album, and this one is entitled Townes, and what this does here
pays tribute to the late great Townes Van Zandt.
Now, here's a guy, if you know anything about music, and by God you ought to know
something about music, and if you do know something about music, you ought to know something about Townes Van Zandt, and
let's just leave it that he was an interesting fellow and
led a bit of a tortured life.
Is that safe enough for a sentence or two?
And he was one of the best songwriters that ever walked this earth.
That's right, and a good friend of yours.
Yeah, he was my teacher.
You lived in his driveway for a while in Tennessee?
I did [C] live in his driveway.
I turned my cabin over to him and retained driveway rights for [F] two years.
There you go.
I can't get a better deal than [N] that.
It's entitled Townes, and we've told you everything you need to know about it, so just enjoy this.
Here's Steve Earle, everybody.
