    When times are good, you enjoy the music. When times are bad, you understand the lyrics.

    I could listen to McMurtry all day. And all night. And all day. And... well, you get the point.

    My favourite artist of all time. It's not even close.
    I'll have to travel to the states to see him.

    For anybody that don't like McMurtry's music, well, just move on down the road, man. He's got enough fans so that we won't miss you. LOL GB

    I believe the Continental Club was also a place to see SRV back in the day. I really enjoy this live version.

    James is right. When you spend too long in the wasteland--you can't leave.

    "Whiskey don't make liars it just makes fools"
    That line becomes more apparent me every time I see her.
    James McMurtry, you and a few of your songwriting compatriots might as well write the soundtrack to my life.

    “I hadn’t intended to bend the rules, but whiskey don’t make liars it just makes fools...so I didn’t mean to say it, but I meant what I said “....one of my favorite lines ever! I actually use it whenever it fits ...you’d be surprised how often. Like, say, Roseanne Barr (substitute Ambien for whiskey lol)

    • @grantwalkersound
      @grantwalkersound 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Nancy... That comment made me smile really large. Nathan taught me everything I know about music. I met him when I was 14, and wound up recording his first studio record "Out of My Skin". Too Long In The Wasteland was always one of my favorite covers by him. His version evolved continuously from his solo days, then his time with Alibi, and then his time The Lost Cause, and finally the final version with John Henry Trinko on Nathan Davis Live... Anyway seeing someone talk about Nathan online... on a non-Nathan oriented page makes me REALLY happy. Cheers!

    • @shesingsFORall
      @shesingsFORall 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers Grant. Nathan is with me on stage from time to time. He tells me, "Go ahead . . . shock yourself!" I close my eyes and make a conscience effort to not give a shit about perfection and care more about the lightening rod of ascension. Check out one or more of my vid's - Nancy Jones - "Whiskey" or "Big House." Nathan is my inspiration.

    the comment below... " only heard as recorded" .... come on now! i have all of McMurtry's material and have been a fan for a long time, and have seen him 3 times.
    i will say that when i buy any artists material i ALWAYS buy live recordings last as i too favour the studio versions. but to say that this is an "injustice", no! far from it. not sure if you have seen James Live yet, but if you have, then you will know that you are hearing a premium band and this vid shows them cutting loose!
    thx!

    @sjdanthem 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In my opinion, this song should be heard only as it was recorded on the first album . This is his greatest, grittiest, darkest, earliest song. Anyone that disagrees should listen to the original. As pretty as this is, it is an injustice to the song as it was meant to be. Before smacking me down, listen to the original.

      @sjdanthem 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@howardrobinson4938 I just don't see this as a "jam" song. This one song set the whole mood and feel of his music and his career. It was the title track of his first album but the record company pushed him to release "Painting By Numbers" as the first single. Anyway, TLITWL is an exceptional song exactly as recorded on the album because it sets that style. I knew James fairly well in high school - a strange character, but always nice to me. I doubt he'd find my take as insulting.
