We NEED this on all streaming plattforms cause we'll all wander around in the woods while listening to this badass and loving interpretation of the original. Pls!!!
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.
I can't stop listening to this. It feels like the first time I found Lost Dog & Ben's music. Everything about this is incredible. Thank you for keeping Townes' memory alive
What a wonderful little tribute to one of my favorite songwriters of all time. Townes was and always will be one of the greatest long lost music legends.
I don't mean to come off or sound sideways askin ya this. But what version of this song are you referring to Foley being apart of? I would love to hear Blaze Foley lend his voice to Townes on s version. I know this commenta yours was left backva few but I'd love to be to turned onto what you're talking bout friend.
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.
Amazing tribute I got to see Townes play many years ago 1994 in a little town in the UK called Hull at a tiny venue called the New Adelphi . There was maybe 80 folks there and he was sat in front of me laying it out . Special night . Man was amazing
Whipass as hell. All my favorite modern songwriters covering my all time favorite songwriter. Love this so much. Thank you Western AF. Love your videos. Keep em coming.
Geez...perfection. I promise to start back up my patron sub when financial situations pick up. Hard times, some times. Thank you all for this. It means the world.
Holy shit! This was so unexpected and beautiful at the same time. Thank you for capturing such amazing moments. Needless to say when we gettin more Wyoming Windbreakers?
Oi guys ! western american music is pratically unknown for a little french like me but fuck yes ! I love this and particulary this one. thanks, many thanks.
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
Happy New Year to you all. I can honestly say, I have more to look forward to after finding some of the artists here on Western AF. 🤡 🌵 🐄 Much love from Southern Illinois ❤️
This is how music is supposed to be made! Townes was always best live with a close friend or two backing him up...I'm sorry some of his work was over-produced, same for Blaze.
I wish I didn’t get drunk and come back to this beautiful song. My drunkenness is tainting the beauty of this incredible song. Wish I didn’t have to be… fucking truly, I do.
Curious question, do you see your politicians using the 45 plus billion of US tax dollars being spent in your country ? I'd be interested in any details.

I miss Justin...sorry he lost his battle, he had a lot more to say.
🙏
I am so happy it moved YOU, who could matter more? No one.
Justin on Letterman turned me on to this kind of music. I owe him a debt of gratitude for that. I'm sorry for your loss.
Wish Justin was still around. His story wasn’t over. I’m so sorry for your loss
The fiddler smoking a rolled cigarette. Such a G.
Legends, all of them!
One of the most underrated videos on this channel
This is one of those tunes that could be playing in the background for 3 hours without being phased by it.
PLEASE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY
I have buried people for over 30 years…my body is broken…my spirit is broken…This song/version..helps me trough the days..
Just good honest therapy for a bunch of broken good ole boys... I love it.
This is like the Avengers of sad country
lol
Accurate AF 😂
That is the funniest/coolest thing I’ve ever read. I totally see it lol
Always go back to this one when the days seem longer.
Ben’s backup vocals are just 🤌
My son was born premature on December 1, who we named Townes. Seeing this on NYE while at the hospital with him was incredible.

My son weighed 2 lbs. 1 oz. at birth. He's 36 now and a teacher, also plays in a band for fun. He has always been a cheerful little pisser!
Congratulations friend :)
My youngest daughter is Townes. Named after her great grandmas maiden name and as a nod to Townes Van Zandt and the late Justin Townes Earl
I'm just so CRAZY to see all my favorites in a video period.... THE PLANETS MUST BE IN ALIGNMENT!!!!!!
Peak content right here. So happy you all exist. Long live the Western AF family.
This is soul music. Broken soul music.
It gets better if you keep listening, over and over and over
And it was already fantastic

He’s a timeless treasure!
You young men are something super special to my spirit, thank you.
Love the slower tempo and musical brakes
The song and the cover are great, nothing to add. Except that they play it so seriously... So impressive. What a tribute. Hats off.
Man I think you sound like Waylon ...I seen ol Waylon live 4 times in the 70's and young man you SURE do sound like him to me..God bless you and yours
Geeeeez, talk about a super band
Riley sings like the ghost of Blaze is right there singing with them

[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
Thank you very much sir!!! Gonna try it out. Greetings from Germany!
