It has been too long since we had ‘retro Friday’! So, here it is: one of the all-time great songs from one of the all-time great artists. This version of ‘Pancho and Lefty’ is from the DVD extras of well-known film ‘Heartworn Highways’. It’s said that the character of Lefty was based on his touring friend, Daniel Antopolsky – read more about it here. Most of our readers will be familiar with this beautiful narrative song, introduced here as, “…a medley of my hit.” Wonderful humour. Wonderful performance. Happy Friday, folks.
