OUT OF KINDNESS, I SUPPOSE

Running really, really late this morning (I hate working weekends), but as always, I felt I should post something. So enjoy this performance from 1977: Emmylou Harris singing the Townes Van Zandt classic Pancho And Lefty. That's Van Zandt's old compadre Rodney Crowell on guitar and backing vocals, with Albert Lee on lead guitar. Oh, and it's only fair to mention, as with pretty much every song Van Zandt ever wrote, this is incredibly depressing. But in a good way!
