Jackson C Frank was a brilliant songwriter and had a really sad/interesting story.

Jackson C. Frank - Wikipedia

 

One guy I’ve really been digging into recently is Lyle Lovett. Until recently I pretty much was only familiar with If I Had A Boat. He’s a great songwriter, unfortunately some of his albums suffer from that kind of cheesy 80’s production.

 

i’ve always wanted to check him out but never knew where to start

 

I started with I Love Everybody and then jumped back to the debut and started working my way forward. So far I think I like I Love Everybody the best, Skinny Legs and Creeps Like Me that I posted above are both from that album.

 

My s/o was playing a Lyle Lovett Spotify playlist the other day and I was surprised by how many of the songs I recognized and how good they were. Also have always meant to check his stuff out more

 

Feel like this belongs here. There’s something so haunting about Pete’s banjo playing on this track.

“I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to Heaven
You'll find no policemen there”

 

This is tonight. Apparently they will be premiering a new JP song too.

 

Vince Gill’s performance might’ve been my favorite of the night.. his voice is just always so incredible...

Also John’s sons singing Paradise... ugh..

 

I definitely thought Kevin Bacon was just introducing someone else, not performing. I enjoyed it though.

 

sturgill's and margo's recked me

 

Man that Crazy As A Loon performance was so weird, but I’m so glad they chose that song.

 

I say this as a very biased person (wearing a JPrine tee right now) but this might be the best tribute concert type deal I’ve ever seen

 

Summer’s End might be a top 3 song of his.. just unbelievable

 

Wasn't able to watch it live but oh so excited to have this on tomorrow while doing work. Not sure how much work will get done though based on yalls comments

 

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

 

Here it is for anyone else who missed it (also just for me so I can find it tomorrow morning)

 

truly unreal how many of his all time songs are from tree. dude was a legend right til the end.

 

If not for the American Recordings series I'd say Tree of Forgiveness is the best career-ending statement anyone's ever recorded. And even then it might still be.

 

Yep it would def get my vote. I’d also put Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker up there.

 

Yeah that's a fantastic one too

 

That song is so good it's fucked up

 

Oh boy was not emotionally prepared for Jason's cover of "Hello in There" right at the beginning of this thing

 

Amanda got dem pipes on this "Clocks and Spoons" cover damn

 

Idk anything about The Secret Sisters but I thought their cover of Souvenirs was low key one of the best of the night. The dad was spot on with the finger picking.
