TOWNES VAN ZANT - Little Willie the Gambler (1993)

Here are two fabulous covers by the late great Townes Van Zant and both are taken from his 1993 album 'Road Songs' The title 'Little Willie the Gambler' is slightly changed from the original Dylan title of 'Ramblin' Gambling Willie'

The track was originally set to be on the 'Freewheelin' album and some early copies were actually released along with several other tracks. It appears only a handful were released with these different songs and the album was quickly withdrawn.  Have a check and if you have a copy.  I will give you £100 for it, cash.

No! I would not do that to fellow Dylan Lover, would I?.  Copies of that album would make you very rich indeed. The song by Dylan  can now be found on the Bootleg Series Vol 1-3.

The next one is a cover of  'Man Gave Names to all the Animals' from 'Slow Train Running'.

The late Great TVZ

TOWNES VAN ZANT - Pancho and Lefty (1972)

This just a great great song and the original by Townes Van Zandt in my opinion is the best. There is a new album of unreleased takes coming out by TVZ and it includes a take of Pancho without any strings. Should be worth listening to, as well as the rest of the album of course. The song first emerged on TVZ's fabulously titled album The Late Great Townes Van Zandt (1972).

 

WILLIE NELSON & MERLE HAGGARD - Pancho and Lefty (1983)

Willie and Merle two of country's real greats also did an excellent version which reached number 1 in the Country Charts. Although this is a top version too, I still think TVZ's is better. This is taken from their duet album imaginatively titled Pancho and Lefty (1983)

 

BOB DYLAN & WILLIE NELSON - Pancho and Lefty (1993)

Finally we have Dylan joining Willie on another fabulous take. Even Bobby's voice rises to the occasion here. Well done Bob. This was recorded at Willie Nelson's 60th Birthday, TV special on April 25th 1993.

What's your favourite take??
