@@Isahiyella So true. They're just incredible. Just played Steve Young doing "Alabama Highway" and no matter how many times I hear it in my life, it takes me places. Wanted to add it to your list. THank you for sharing.

@@zeevogel my Syr is my best friend, but I can say, if taught him well. He is very respectful to all that he meets. He is truly the best thing I ever did.
@@dmdlove7757 I know the feeling. My kid is the same; respectfull to others, kind for smaller children, good for animals, nature, etc. Those kids are the best thing we leave behind, once we part from this world - hopefully not within the next 50 years or so.
Many people bow at the altar of Townes, and they're not necessarily wrong but man- Guy is right there with him. Short of Petty, few deaths hit me as hard. Thanks Guy. I owe you a drink.
...ah, but these were Townes' friends. This was one night that he wasn't with them, but Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Richard Dobson, Billy Callery, and of course, Susanna were. Christmas Eve 1975. Has more musical talent ever been gathered around one table before or since?
@@Keshet1571 he wasn't there bc he was passed out somewhere and they couldn't go find like usual bc they had things to do. Townes was a gem but without handlers we'd never have known
I feel people may gravitate towards townes because of the pain you hear in his song. When it comes to your heros nobody is better than the other. Rip guy & townes Thanks to those two for giving me somewhere to rest when nowhere feels like home
Guy and Steve, sharing that old time feeling. Music that they shared with all the people they would meet. Parted the world within weeks of each other, leaving us with that old time feeling, that goes on and on and on and......Thank you guys. RIP.
Guy and Suzanna Clark their music, their friends, the people they touched, One huge phenomenal, larger than life beautiful song. That goes on and on and on and on and on and..........
This is country music. I sure would love to see all the tape from this session. So many good songs...so much talent. not long after the dishes...Townes Van Zandt did Pancho and Lefty.
This is the best song i have heard in a long time. Never would have heard it without Pitchfork tv streaming Heartworn Highways just for one day for SXSW 2016.
+Martha Langston absolutely! There is a great vid of Guy talking about Townes hitting on suzanna and how close they were and how he had to keep an eye on him, but in a jokey way. its hilarious, really he new his best friend and his girl just had a close friendship
Townes and Susanna had a very close friendship, but I think Guy understood it - he just made jokes to cover. They were three extraordinary people, for sure.
"That Old Time Feeling" And that old time feeling goes sneakin' down the hall Like an old gray cat in winter, keepin' close to the wall And that old time feeling comes stumblin' up the street Like an old salesman kickin' the papers from his feet And that old time feeling draws circles around the block Like old women with no children, holdin' hands with the clock And that old time feeling falls on its face in the park Like an old wino prayin' he can make it till it's dark And that old time feeling comes and goes in the rain Like an old man with his checkers, dyin' to find a game And that old time feeling plays for beer in bars Like an old blues-time picker who don't recall who you are And that old time feeling limps through the night on a crutch Like an old soldier wonderin' if he's paid too much And that old time feeling rocks and spits and cries Like an old lover rememberin' the girl with the clear blue eyes And that old time feeling goes sneakin' down the hall Like an old gray cat in winter, keepin' close to the wall...

@@TheVirginianRambler you're right. I always found it difficult to hold my guitar that way though. I guess I meant he has a good control of his playing, as a result of doing it for so long.
Aint worth much, yet I have that ol' time feeling all the time. Would be worth more if others knew the value. Pays me no nevermind though. Guess I'll just keep along in my ways.
It's like when Blake Shelton talks about "grandpa's music." If his music was any good whatsoever, he could talk; but it's not, and he can't. This music is the real country, as it exists past multitracking and television. This is the way you preserve the analog life.
was trying to figure out how to transpose this into standard tuning... and still have that special feeling, was having trouble trying to use 2nd position chords but i recently discovered i could just simply do it in 1st position easy chords no problem love this song a lot

This entire documentary feels like a warm hug after coming in from the rain, unrelated but this makes me think what would America be without the Irish - Clark is a Celtic surname , the foundation of American country music comes from irish folk mingling with vernacular traditions of blacks from the Southland as well . We have alot of beautiful tradition in this country that sadly gets lost underneath meaningless politics
I couldn't agree more. This documentary is almost comforting in a way. And your comment is, too. It's a nice reminder of all that we have in common through our beautiful shared musical heritage.
The first part of your comment read like a poem and I wanted to say thank you for writing this out. Also I'm not sure I've ever seen someone say a nice thing about the Irish on youtube. Wherever you are in life, I hope you are doing well.
Those were the times when music came first. Not the trash you get today. There is good stuff today aswell, but you have to really search for this, most is crap
Excellent. Thank you. I could tell it was an open tuning with e strings in Eb but the cappo makes it difficult to tell exactly. Whether you are extreemly proficient at finding things like this on the net, are kin to Guy and just "happen to know these things" or you have an 'eagle eye/ eagle ear' for guitar tunings (or maybe all three?) you have my gratitude. Always been an old favorite of mine and just playing it in standard Eb always lacked that certain sound. Thanks.
Alcohol and other mind-numbing substances are necessary for the creation of this kind of music, because sober musicians would get bored to death and eventually become interested more in the endless quest for proficiency on their instruments, and in increasing complexity of composition, rather than woozy, nostalgic and lachrymose exercises in stylized world-weariness bordering on bathos.
dfoxy14 old time music be it blues influenced/mountain music whatever is not supposed to be an intellectual powerhouse testing the waters of music theory - it's just back porch picking music. pseudo intellectual dorks got a power high from being able to name 3 american primitivism artists and me always have these sort of discussions
Norbit CleaverHook Steve young. He also is in this documentary. Look up his songs, Rock Salt And Nails... Alabama Highway.... you’ll love them he’s a wicked guitar player
gotta find chords/tabs for this version, because here he plays it in an open tuning but every other version is in standard tuning.... i gotta figure out this one :P
This isn't just "country," it's country folk or folk country. Either way Guy Clark was amazing. He is the truth.
I can't believe I spent so long without country music. I'm in awe at the emotion conveyed in some of these songs.
Guy was the 🐐
Check out Blaze Foley, Townes Van Zandt, David Allan Coe
welcome, im 19 been on it all my life. Can really mellow a guy out
@@Isahiyella So true. They're just incredible. Just played Steve Young doing "Alabama Highway" and no matter how many times I hear it in my life, it takes me places. Wanted to add it to your list. THank you for sharing.
Yup, grew up around it, then strayed for a long time.
Clark, and Prine ain't typical country. It's salve for the soul.
Magic
I adore Guy Clark and all his pals.
I just want to say, as a Father, I am so thankful for my son, Syrvester. I love you, my boy, you won't never know how much.
Four years ago that would´ve been a really cheesy comment but now with two boys of my own - that hit the spot. Boys I love you more than you can know!
Yeah same here. But my kid is my biggest friend in the whole wide world. Turns out this is getting a sort of father-son topic.

Thanks to those two for giving me somewhere to rest when nowhere feels like home
Not sure there would be a Townes without guy…
Happy birthday buddy. You are loved.
Guy and Steve, sharing that old time feeling. Music that they shared with all the people they would meet. Parted the world within weeks of each other, leaving us with that old time feeling, that goes on and on and on and......Thank you guys. RIP.
RIP Guy Clark and Steve Young. Both gone within months of each other
Yes the late great Guy Clark! One of the best!
Thank you Guy for sharing your music. You were the best.
Guy, Susannah and Townes are playing poker and drinking Hemingways whiskey in the afterlife.
i hope seymour is allowed to play to
and isn't it pretty to think so. god bless
I hope I can cook them all food when I get there.
He ain't gone nowhere, he's still around. Lingering on the airwaves with his stories and tunes.
Don’t forget Blaze Foley, he’s there too👍
I'm speechless. So freaking good!
This song is one of the most amazing songs ever written, I love it.
blablabla best song ever ..
One of the best songs ever written, going to the flea market tomorrow, gotta hunt down this LP
Did you ever find it? Ive been hunting for years and cant find a copy
This is one of the best music documentaries ever made. Amazing music. Thanks for posting this.
Except the David Allen Coe parts. That guy has always been an absolute phony. He's so out of place in it.
One of my favorite voices of all time
Guy and Suzanna Clark their music, their friends, the people they touched, One huge phenomenal, larger than life beautiful song. That goes on and on and on and on and on and..........
Rest in Peace Guy and Steve. Wonderful gift you left us.
One of the best versions of this song, Guy was amazing
Well it was his
JJW does it well, too. As he played a lot of Clark’s songs.
One of the best songs ever. I love this movie and have seen it so many times. Never was
Beautiful song,
Always great to see Unc
This is country music. I sure would love to see all the tape from this session. So many good songs...so much talent. not long after the dishes...Townes Van Zandt did Pancho and Lefty.
The documentary this is from is called Heartworn Highways. It is currently (Oct 2024) on one of the streaming channels.
This is the best song i have heard in a long time. Never would have heard it without Pitchfork tv streaming Heartworn Highways just for one day for SXSW 2016.
Guy is great, but not as good as Marty Robbins IMHO. Just listen to Pride and the Badge and then we know why Marty is a legend.
Beautiful song
Man, that's music.
I'm crazy about the backup harmony.
Alteredtaint check out Waylon on last gunfighter's ballad.
And you should be 😊
i always have been too. Gives me a christmas feel, but i also just really enjoy it.
That’s just, ‘that old time feeling’ hunny x
It's beautiful! Big love to everyone who shares this sentiment.
One of the greatest videos on TH-cam
its hard to watch them all so young especially Susannah. I wish I had some films of when I was young. We were all young once
Me too~
✌️❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️✌️
this remains to be soo incredibly beautiful!
Whenever I hear or see Guy Clark mentioned I at once recall this song and can't help but think of his Susannah.
Beautiful song!!
I sure wish i could of hung out with Guy. Don't think anyone could ask for a better friend, than Guy Clark.
Beautiful!!!!!
Watching it right now. Got the DVD :D
Open tuning, very interesting! Great song.
Do you know what key open tuning?
@@oldaccount5217Open G with capo on 2 I think
A song can be amplified when you’re playing it with your good buddies
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE TUNING?
Tom Waits is my all time favorite
But this is so beautiful
Epic! Cuts right into the bones 🙏
Music from the heart worn drifters of the US just drifting along the roads looking for their life and singing their story's and feelings
A lot of lies, though.
Now that's a national treasure ❤
14 people with an upside down phone wondered why so many thumbs down for such a great song.
Beautiful!
True poetry, my dear friends....
hope you're jamming with Townes x RIP x
and Susanna. Happy forever together.
+Martha Langston absolutely! There is a great vid of Guy talking about Townes hitting on suzanna and how close they were and how he had to keep an eye on him, but in a jokey way. its hilarious, really he new his best friend and his girl just had a close friendship

Very few things are certain, but for sure, Guy and Townes are jammin' !!
and Susannah too; and so many of her sisters in song
I love this song great song love it it is so great
thank you
Timeless and i mean timeless ..........
Perfect.Rip steve and guy
Bless you Guy. Rest easy.
"That Old Time Feeling"
And that old time feeling goes sneakin' down the hall
Like an old gray cat in winter, keepin' close to the wall
And that old time feeling comes stumblin' up the street
Like an old salesman kickin' the papers from his feet
And that old time feeling draws circles around the block
Like old women with no children, holdin' hands with the clock
And that old time feeling falls on its face in the park
Like an old wino prayin' he can make it till it's dark
And that old time feeling comes and goes in the rain
Like an old man with his checkers, dyin' to find a game
And that old time feeling plays for beer in bars
Like an old blues-time picker who don't recall who you are
And that old time feeling limps through the night on a crutch
Like an old soldier wonderin' if he's paid too much
And that old time feeling rocks and spits and cries
Like an old lover rememberin' the girl with the clear blue eyes
And that old time feeling goes sneakin' down the hall
Like an old gray cat in winter, keepin' close to the wall...

Title: That old time feeling
Artist: Guy Clark
Lyrics:
And that old time feeling
Comes and goes in the rain
Like an old man with his checkers
Night to find a game
That old time feeling
Plays from here and bars
Like and old time blues picker
You dont call the yard
And that old time feeling
Limbs through the night on a crutch
Like an soldier wondering
If hes paid too much
That old time feeling
Rocks spits and cries
Like and old lover remembering
The girl with the clear blue eyes
That old time feeling
Goes sneaking down the heart
Like an old grey candle winter
Even close to the wall
oh Yeah, tis old time feeling ...
Like an old soldier wonderin', like an old girl wonderin", rock on!
Never let this die
great stuff! (always gotta be one that doesn't think so)
+matt zehentner would love to hear why the idiot had a problem with it...probably doesn't care for meaningful story telling lyrics
That's actually Steve Young, who is also featured on the documentary. You can look up his song "Alabama Highway" which is also on TH-cam.
Incredible
Townes van zandt brought me here
Guy sure had a unique way of holding his guitar
Actually thats just the classical position. Nothin really unique about it
@@TheVirginianRambler you're right. I always found it difficult to hold my guitar that way though. I guess I meant he has a good control of his playing, as a result of doing it for so long.
😊 I wish I had been 'round Uncle Seymour...this man appears to be so "sincere" in the videos I ve seen him in.
Aint worth much, yet I have that ol' time feeling all the time. Would be worth more if others knew the value. Pays me no nevermind though. Guess I'll just keep along in my ways.
Thanks, Guy. Farewell.
We love you like our own!

It is just a friend of Townes and Seymour. Someone who worked on the film clarified that on another thread.
Just some babe townz b plowin on z side...
most people don't realize Steve wrote one of the Eagles Biggest hits as well as one of Waylon Jenning's
My great claim to fame is that I saw the great Guy in Roscrea Ireland organised by Tom Stapleton
Those were the times when music came first. Not the trash you get today. There is good stuff today aswell, but you have to really search for this, most is crap
Yes you are, Krispy. ...as long as that's your true pic... Yes, you sure are.
...And this song definitely is as well.
❤️
Best
and Uncle Seymour comes in at the end. He shares some wisdom with Townes on another vid.
Footage you refer to, and this, is part of "Heartworn Highways" documentary movie from 1976.
yessr
It's some kind of major open tuning. Not sure what key though. Amazing performance and movie!
plz let’s make a time machine 🙏🏼
I wonder if Tom Waits heard this, because it really chimes with his earlier work..
nice pants
Love that song. He uses a very unusual tuning - Eb Ab Eb Ab C eb
Excellent. Thank you. I could tell it was an open tuning with e strings in Eb but the cappo makes it difficult to tell exactly. Whether you are extreemly proficient at finding things like this on the net, are kin to Guy and just "happen to know these things" or you have an 'eagle eye/ eagle ear' for guitar tunings (or maybe all three?) you have my gratitude. Always been an old favorite of mine and just playing it in standard Eb always lacked that certain sound. Thanks.
+GramVanClarke Not particularly unusual, exactly the same intervals as your standard open G tuning just a semitone up
does anybody know who the girl is at the end doing the dishes in townes trailer
Sussanah Clark - his wife
I wonder if Don Williams ever sang this. It is better than half the songs he sang.
I would guess standard. Most everyone playing in this movie is capo'd at the 2nd fret.
Anyone have any idea what open tuning he's using here?
gilseltz Open G
Eb Ab Eb Ab C eb
He might be one of the Statler Brothers. Looks just like him.

that's sort of the point of hillbilly/country music/ whatever you want to call it. just an old time feeling my dude. 8-)

and it doesn't necessarily take inebriation to get it goin'
Horseshit
Not always visionary. Simplicity doesn't suggest lack of proficiency.
You don’t have to drink a barrel of whiskey coz you see a barrel sitting there.... lol
If only Townes would’ve listened to Mr. Washington.
Anyone know the tuning?
Seems like Open G with capo on 2
Who's on lead he cool
Norbit CleaverHook Steve young. He also is in this documentary. Look up his songs, Rock Salt And Nails... Alabama Highway.... you’ll love them he’s a wicked guitar player
Steve Young!
Beautiful, like it better than JJW's cover
gotta find chords/tabs for this version, because here he plays it in an open tuning but every other version is in standard tuning.... i gotta figure out this one :P
Kailjiin open G.
Look at guy, totally lost in the music... he was great
which one is this
