Townes is more frequently filed under "folk," I think -- but I agree, he's a great songwriter.

Good point. I posted that and I thought he might be more folky. His first few albums are pretty country before he went more bluesy/folky in the 70s.Kevin Davis wrote:Townes is more frequently filed under "folk," I think -- but I agree, he's a great songwriter.
Much love for Waylon though. Love me some David Allan Coe too.

He's borderline. There's a lot of overlap between the two genres, especially when the singer sounds like as big of a hick as Townes does.

I might like this more than the Stones version.

This whole album is fantastic!
