Dude's a national treasure -- as fine a songwriter as they come!

Great job James, love that tune - Warren Zevon did not live in vain.

"Cashing in on a 30 year crush. You can't be young and do that, you can't be young and do that"

[SwampFox-tlvi]

Never have understood how he isn't more well known.

[DavidDempsey-jd]

You will never find a better songwriter. James paint the picture.

And in a way back corner of a cross-town bus, we were hiding out under my hat…
Cashing in on a thirty year crush - You can't be young and do that

One of the best stanzas written in music recently

This guy is it. Why isn’t he a household name I will never know!

[cgillit]

One of the best songwriters in the game for decades, and still throwing 100 mph fastballs. McMurtry needs to re-record all of his best songs with BettySoo accompanying.

"There's not much movin' on the romance radar, not that I'm cravin' it all that much. But I still need to feel, every once in a while, the warmth of a smile and a touch."

eTown's productions are always top notch

[songpoets-ramcey]

One of the best in the biz... period. Thanks, eTown!

As a long time side man and recent aspiring songwriter, he terrifies and inspires me- so few are that good! Btw, great guitar solo Nick! 👍

[UncleBen]

You can't be young and do that. BINGO ✌️😎👍

[Lockdheart]

Nick actually sounded a little amazed at the end there. You don't hear that too often...

[Tokeland]

Like the drums on the Live @ the Continental much better…. Great song
