Agreed. “About Her Eyes” from Five Years Gone is a stone cold gorgeous song

I own Five Years Gone and it’s an excellent album – not a typical Jerry Jeff Walker outing though…..it’s a bit more eccentric but there’s some lovely tunes and songwriting on that disc – an underrated album that needs to be mentioned in the same breathe with JJW’s best early to mid 70′s classics.

Five Years Gone is his masterpiece IMHO.
The opposite of Gonzo — such fragile & delicate beauty in several songs.
Big props to David Bromberg.

This album meant so much to me when I got it as a CD re-issue on the now defunct Line/Linea re-issure label.

Deep, dark emotions running through this. Late at night stuff.

BTW: Nobody’s is (I believe!) a Gary White song and nicely covered by Linda Ronstadt on Silk Purse – a great album as well.

i see ‘five years gone’ and ‘bein free’ on the same special not to categorize level, they’re out of this planetary system. or should this level even be the real one this system should work?!?!

Hard to go past “North Cumberland Blues” from Driftin’ Way Of Life. “Maybe Mexico” is a drunken favourite from Mr Bojangles as well.

Dust On My Boots. That is all. The best, hands down in my opinion.
