Lyle Lovett - Flyin' Shoes (Townes Van Zandt Tribute)

Back



Hey folks, I made this video to honour the great singer & songwriter Townes Van Zandt, who passed away on New Years Eve 1997. The music comes from Lyle Lovett, who made an excellent coverversion of a TVZ song called "Flyin' Shoes" - hope you like it!

Lyle sang this a Townes' funeral. He kept looking away. Guy came on to sing and naturally made a joke. He made folks laugh so as to try and draw attention away from the fact that he turned his back and cried. Katie belle walked from person to person handing out flowers.

I feel so bad about the way Townes lost his long term memory w insulin shock therapy. It seems like he just stayed so sad after all of that. He sure brought a truckload of soul into the songs he wrote. I'm glad that Lyle did this one. Hurricane Ike is coming in. I gotta shut down now, before that monster gets here.

Kudos for putting this beautiful tribute together for all of us who miss Townes so much. And i couldn't think of a better singer than Lyle Lovett to cover one of his most affecting songs- it definitely brought a tear to my eye. but as i watched this i couldn't help but thinking of the irony now that the first album i ever bought of his work was entitled "The Late Great Townes Van Zandt". that's for sure! it's no wonder that with his songwriting genius, so many other performers are in awe...

Absolutely Awesome ! I've watched it at least 25 times. Thanks for the picture memories of Townes. There will never be another like him.
