song Tecumseh Valley
First release by writer Townes Van Zandt (August 1968)
Townes later did a duo with Nanci Griffith
Nanci Griffith did her own cover (perhaps definitive version for me)
Later significant covers by
Steve Earle
Jason Isbell & Elizabeth Cook 2013 acoustic
and 2023 Charley Crockett
Around 2007 Jason Isbell was forced out of the band due to excessive drinking + drug use.
(But his solo career took off after gaining sobriety, writing some songs about that journey)
**********************************************************************************************************
2025 “Jason Isbell reunited with his old bandmates in the Drive-By Truckers, which he was a part of from 2001-2007, for their first performance together in over 18 years. This comes in support of the band’s “The Definitive Decoration Day”, a four-LP boxed set celebrating their 2003 album of the same name
Drive By Truckers “Dirty South” is still my favorite. Also, love most of Jason Isbell’s catalog.
Pachelbel, Fasch, Maurice André, Jean-François Paillard Chamber Orchestra – The Pachelbel Canon And Two Suites For Strings / Two Sinfonias And Concerto For Trumpet
Had to go to a funeral the other day, realise this is normally a wedding tune, but even though I’ve heard it a million times before, it was like the first time I’d heard it at the funeral, perhaps connected to that person, but realised how beautiful it is and had to pick up a copy.
especially today, for Track 1 (see below!)
