Townes Van Zandt at his best. "Rake" never fails to move me, and I've been dying to make a video for this one.

I tagged the URL of the Townes Van Zandt website onto the end of the video. If you buy your Townes stuff there the money goes to the family instead of to some faceless corporation.

It's sad, I have lived in Ft. Worth for 20 years and hardly anyone around here knows Townes. One of the greatest American songwriters of all time deserves a memorial in the middle of downtown (though I'm sure he would have strongly opposed it).

Self-aware and utterly devastating. For my money the greatest folk song ever written.

Great visuals. Read the lyrics, this was a serenade for a vampire.

Yeah man, This video is mythic as are the images. These lyrics are ancient and in 3/4 time. The video fits perfectly

Wonderful song, Townes was the man. But what the fuck is up with that slideshow?

Can anyone help? Im looking for the name of a song that was in a kings of leon documentary. Its playing in the background and during the commentary when asked what the song is they say its townes. Its quite an up tempo song and the chorus has the line " pick up your bags and carry yourself home".

this is the best vocal performance of this song I've heard, but while I appreciate the backing instruments, they are not needed. all that's needed are townes and his guitar. (if you don't believe that, hear the version from "a private concert.")

A lover of women, he can''t hardly stand, he trembles, he's bent & he's broken. I've fallen it's true, but I say to you, hold your tongues 'til after I've spoken
