Simply brilliant.Wish I could write a song like that.Less than a thousand hits,and several of those are mine,yet utter crap gets millions of hits.There really is something wrong with what people listen to these days.This guy should be recognised for what he really is,a proper songwriter.
quintessential Butch Hancock - one of his best and one of my/our {the posters here} faves - just beautiful man - you are an inspiration to we songwriters out here in the world that this mess is in ...
"When a man of the cloth and a man of science meet a man who stands in full defiance the chain of command and the wheel of opinion are gonna turn full circle in the Wind's Dominion. Don't despair if the road gets longer If you keep on movin' it'll make you stronger Just don't depend on public opinion It blows away in the Wind's Dominion. You're the smoothest little operator I'm the lowest common denominator But there ain't no hard proof, just this opinion: Love lives under the Wind's Dominion
@Deradune thanks for posting those lyrics..I've been looking for them....probably could've got 'em myself..I'm a lazy writer......using for an article for No Depression...my favorite song of Butch's ....to me, he's the best writer of the three....tr
@@nadeembitar5292 It may appear that way because of his limited success compared to Jimmie Dale and Butch. But, after talking with him for an interview, i didn't sense ego inflation at all.
Butch and Tom Russell decided to stomp dance together in my campfire at Kerrville while Nanci Griffith with a cast on her leg and the rest of us watched. They didn't get burned and the campfire stayed lit. Don't know how. Get religious with states' rights and the Biblical nonviolence of Jesus The Christ of The Holy Bible. Only the amazing grace of Jesus The Christ of The Holy Bible has been saving a miserable wretch like me. Lest I vaunt myself before GOD, (like a NaZi), saying, "Mine own hand hath saved me." - Judges chapter 7 Gideons' Bible.
Everyone from the Flatlanders was a gem, and still are!
Clayt...you like Texas voices, and this is the real deal...and one of Texas' finest poets.

Joe Ely is pretty good, too. Went solo and got a big head?

Joe is more of a rocker.
