It's very cliche, but for myself the calm music is Bob Marley, Peter Tosh. Relaxed.

Almost anything more musically complicated, my brain wants to focus on it.

Listening now.
Reminds me of the great Townes Van Zandt.
Honest, solo acoustic with heartfelt vocals.
Simple, pleasant story.
I love songs that tell a story. He was a cut man...
You were young and you were hungry
Lord knows I was hungry too
We were both flat-out starving
For something worthwhile to lose
You were my bread and I was your honey
Up against the dark red wine
Trying to hold on to the lovely
Through the bitter of our times



That chorus is just money right now in my life.

That is indeed an ugly tuning. I’ve seen some of that dudes stuff though, he’s clearly got some chops.

as far as hating talented people, I agree. I still have a lot to learn in first and second position lol
It's just so galling to be proud of something you learned, and then see some kid play beyond any skills you'll ever develop ...and do it effortlessly.

A wonderful classic. One of the earliest concept albums.
Have you seen the movie he starred in that revolved around the story of this album? Early 80s I think.
Yes.
Long ago, and I recall it was teh suck.

Something I love about us proper Deadheads is that we're open to all kinds of music.

Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene

Weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
Ah but that's the way it goes

All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

Lefty, he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows

All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

The poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends we're told

Pancho needs your prayers it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growing old

All the Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
A few gray Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose

Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson
