  • Western AF presents | The 2022 Encore Band The Wyoming Windbreakers | "Rex's Blues"
    ...
    The some of our favorites were all in Laramie, Wyoming at the same time, and decided to give 2022 one last encore.
    This year brought us all closer together. Gathering at festivals, venues, or around a picnic table to sing along with strangers is finally feeling normal again. Damn did we miss it. 2022 was a big one for us. We are determined to bring you even more from the musicians you love (and a bunch you will love soon) in 2023. Are heads are above water, our hearts are full, and our love for great music has never been stronger.
    We are thankful to be doing this with y’all.

    So my father is Steve Earle, my brother was Justin Townes Earle. I’ve heard countless versions of this song over the years including guitar pulls with Guy, Townes and dad playing it together. This version ranks way, way up there.

    Love this so much. Played this song with my 4 year old son in the car. No, he doesn’t understand all the lyrics. But he did say, “Dada, I love you” toward the end. He felt something. That’s what’s so good about these guys. True artists.

    My grandfather loved Wyoming and had been there several times throughout his life to hunt varmints (Prairie dogs, badgers, and coyote). He took me a couple times and I can still smell the sagebrush! One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. I can proudly say I have some of my most powerful memories of my life, on a ranch on the Prairie of Wyoming near Medicine Bow about an hour from Laramie. My Grandfather was Wyoming as fu**! A great hunter and even better man.

    What a combo! Great song to end the year folks, thank you for all the wonderful music you brought us!
    Capo 2, Standard tuning
    C F C all the way through on this one folks!
    Alternative is D G D without Capo
    [Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    Ride the blue wind high and free
    She'll lead you down through misery
    Leave you low, come time to go
    Alone and low as low can be
    [Verse 2]
    If I had a nickel I'd find a game
    If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
    If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
    And lay me down dissatisfied
    [Verse 3]
    Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
    Eyes to laugh and lips to cry
    A restless tongue to classify
    All born to grow and grown to die
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 4]
    So tell my baby I said so long
    Tell my mother I did no wrong
    Tell my brother to watch his own
    And tell my friends to mourn me none
    [Verse 5]
    I'm chained upon the face of time
    Feelin' full of foolish rhyme
    There ain't no dark till something shines
    I'm bound to leave this dark behind
    [Verse 6]
    Ride the blue wind high and free
    She'll lead you down through misery
    Leave you low, come time to go
    Alone and low as low can be
