Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson, Poncho & Lefty, 1983 on Epic
Another Willie Nelson duet album, this one from 1983 with fellow “outlaw” Merle Haggard with title track from Townes Van Zandt.
Great collection of songs, including Nelson’s own “Opportunity to Cry,” the title track, and the pairing of “Reasons to Quit” with “No Reason to Quit.”
My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a Columbia Carrollton pressing with “Poncho” on the jackets and labels (as opposed to “Pancho” which later releases were updated to).

Townes Van Zandt, At My Window, 1987 on Sugar Hill
Van Zandt’s eighth studio album and only one recorded in the 1980s, originally released on the bluegrass label Sugar Hill. I never miss a chance to pick up a Townes Van Zandt record in good shape.
Recorded at Jack Clement’s studio in Nashville (“Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa”) and produced by Clement and Jim Rooney. Great versions of “For the Sake of the Song” and “Gone, Gone Blues” and the title track.
My copy – via Pitchford Records in Concord NH – is the 2022 Craft reissue for Record Store Day 2022 on blue vinyl.

Maybe it’s just me but every time I hear this song I think of Phil, Phil, Phil!
Rest In Peace Phil Lesh!
You were the pulse. A driving force behind a long strange trip.

This feels like a Townes Van Zandt day. Pancho and Lefty has been famously covered by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, as well as others. "Van Zandt has been referred to as a cult musician and 'a songwriter's songwriter.'"
The lyrics: "Although the lyrics are not exactly reconcilable with the historic details of the life and death of the famous Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, Van Zandt does not rule out the idea." (Wikipedia) #TownesVanZandt #FolkMusic #AmericanFolk -

Remembering Townes Van Zandt on what would have been his 80th birthday.

But her favorite one, it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams”#TownesVanZandt #SteveEarle #EmmylouHarris #HoytAxton #MerleHaggard #WillieNelson #DavidGans

One of my fave Van Zandt songs. A personal essay of mine came out in a Van Zandt anthology this past spring. The anthology contains gritty stories, poems, and essays reflecting the spirit of Townes Van Zandt. Copies are available through Amazon for $10---https://a.co/d/4gCNQVm

I'm looking over the manuscript of Cowboy Jamboree's themed anthology "Traveling through Townes." The volume contains stories, poetry, and essays reflecting the spirit of Townes Van Zandt. An essay of mine will be published there. If you are not familiar with TVZ, or even if you are, you may enjoy listening to this album. I'll post again when copies are available in mid-April---Townes's birthday.
