Sad. He and Townes are America's true poet laureates. Here's one of my favorites about Guy and his dad.
Godspeed.

One of the best of a good bunch.
For some reason, I can't post "Dublin Blues" from youtube.

Ah man, I hate to hear that.
Not a great chart topper, but a legend, none the less.
One of mine, and a lot of musician's, favorites.
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

I'm 74 as well and I think 74 is just too young to go.

Steve Earle said he'd stand on Dylan's coffee table in his cowboy boots and tell him that Townes van Zandt was the best songwriter in the whole world...I think I'd stand on Steve's coffee table and correct him...RIP Guy...the best there ever was in my book....

Man, we're losing a lot of the good ones this year! Guy's songs went right to my heart and soul. God give him rest.

Never heard of him. What did he sing? Kind of a local cult classic running the famous, but less than glizty venues of Texas, Oklahoma, and the surrounding areas. You won't hear him on a Nashville Country Top 40 station for sure.

You might say he was the favorite songwriter of other songwriters........ now that Townes is dead.
