Gotta love the highs and lows of life to make it sound real like him. Im 60 only tingled with 3 covers in thet time. Hell of a trade to to do that. Bless ya kid. Montains give solice
My boyfriend passed away a few days ago.. his name was Benjamin as well.. he was and is my soulmate.. he turned me onto your music about a week or two ago.. the last two weeks before he left, he we played your music and some other music as well.. we watched deadwood and kissed and went for walks.. he played the guitar and sang.. he had such a beautiful voice. Anyway.. thank you for your music.. he and I really needed it.
@zacharyboor23 thank you.. it doesn't feel like it.. music has always been there to save me but My Ben saved me.. he has been saving me for the past year. I don't know what I would have done without him.. he showed me what true unconditional love is from another human adult. I learned so much about myself being with him. We both did. I don't want to be here anymore. I just want to be with him.. it's not fair.. and if I could end it, I would.. but all that crap about if you end your own life, you can't chose where you go.. = / stupid
Love your music brother!! Please don't stop. This country's going to shit and this is all we got left good music that comes from the heart!!! God bless you brother!!!
Benjamin...you covered one of my favorite songs. Thank you bud. Can't wait to see you again if you come back to California. I cant stop listening to this! Thank you. The man the Legend!
I wished for Ben to cover this song, i even commented a couple times. I would like to hear Tecumseh valley it was written on a banjo would like to hear it in that version. Ben your music saved my life. I love and appriciate your music. I found your music from Townes music. Love it. Jason Dae West aint too bad....lol
I've been following you for a few years since I coincidentally saw your street performance with Ashley of the song "Waitin' Around To Die". TVZ brings me those moments when wallowing in shit makes you feel good, maybe because you already They're far away, I don't know. Also the video for "Comin' Down" is one of my favorites, I haven't heard the words needle and spoon together in a song since "Dead Flowers" by The Rolling Stones, and I love the video in black and white. Anyway, greetings from Barcelona, Catalonia.
Wow bro I grew up playing this song with my family during pick it parties my dad calls it. You really convey this song well. But then again when do you not? You’re such a great artist I recently show my Dad your stuff. He’s 73 and he loves it. We love you Ben
Such a great cover. thank you for sharing. I can almost hear Emmylou Harris singing her version right along with you. Now wouldnt that be something, Benjamin Tod and Emmylou Harris
Excellent cover Ben. I really enjoy your music. I've been playing guitar on and off for 27 years. As of the last 9 months I play fiddle and bluegrass banjo. Do you have any suggestions for keeping up on multiple instruments while working full-time?
I've always tried to dedicate an hour. Some days I don't play at all but others I'll play for two hours. It all balances out I think. I've known too many who've given up on playing instruments but I know that's not an option for me.. If it does something for you and your soul you will find the time.
Hey, my first time hearing you and I'm suitably impressed, you have earned my subscription. That looks like an LG 2 that you're playing. I have a '59 of that model, beautiful tone but not as pretty as that one, seen some hard times. Nice playing man.
Nice job brother. Covered this one on my channel too. You should do "Nothing" like this. Your live version is bad ass. Also Verlon Thompsons verof guy clarks song "the guitar" would be cool to see ya cover. If your taking requests. Lol
I was sitting here ready to correct the spelling on the title when I decided to Google it first. Of course it was spelled "Poncho" and not "Pancho" when Townes wrote it. I shouldn't have doubted Benjamin. Shame on me.
This guy looks younger and healthier than he did a handful of years ago and sounds better than ever ❤
Sobriety does that...
@@SeamusPercy-tc3fli cant wait for the relapse album
@@syd6134 never as good usually.,.but he'd def start touring again...
🔥 as always.
@@syd6134 He already made that one.
Townes & Tod forever
And Blaze!! Never forget Blaze Foley!
@@slimragz I'm a big Jeffrey Martin & Joe Pug guy as well
Hell yeah you guys rule
Always a good day when you wake up and see new Benjamin Tod music.
Two of the greatest song writers of all time
Townes would be proud. I'd love to hear your take on Marie or A Song For.
I’d love a recorded version of this on Spotify
Beautiful cover. Done with authenticity and sensitivity that townes is deserving of.
I never comment, thank you for giving Townes the recognition he deserves. You have more fans than you think you do.
Amazing cover towens would be proud would love to hear some blaze foley covers ❤

thanks you from Italy
Always good to hear more from you Benjamin

Crushing this cover and highway 31 shield is my home state highway in Macedon, NY.

This is solid.
Thanks
Damn fine cover. Love the hats as well....
Great job! Thanks for posting!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have loved this song for years and it is nice to hear a great cover of it by someone I’ve only come to know in the last few years. Excellent cover!
Awesome. Thanks for all the great music man.
dope tune
Wow bro I grew up playing this song with my family during pick it parties my dad calls it. You really convey this song well. But then again when do you not? You’re such a great artist I recently show my Dad your stuff. He’s 73 and he loves it. We love you Ben
Ben, your name will forever be mentioned with the greats. Nobody has done it better in my opinion.
Thanks Ben
Very cool, classic song. Wonderful to hear And thanks for sharing as always
Well played Sir. Didn't overdue it. :-) Very Nice
Well and nicely done, Mr. Tod.
Thank you!
My grandfather raised me on this song so the cold chills are rolling over me like they did during detox. Bless your soul for this rendition of Townes
This was fantastic. Loved it.
That's wild you have a highway 31 sign back there, have traveled that road more times than I can count, southern Indiana to Tennessee
Awesome song! 🤠👍
One of my favorite Townes songs
Love this version man your a legend just like all the ones before
Fucking great buddy! Love it keep em coming... Subscribed.
Fantastic job! Great song, and you sounded great covering it 👍🏼
Hell ya dude. I'm glad that guys like Ben keep all the classics around
Damn, Wow
Thank You!
I thought that The lost dog cover of "waiting around to die" was amazing. I think this is even better.
So good every time.
Thank you for this. More Towns, please.
About time you covered this song on here! Good shit.
Thank you, Ben, for reminding me of this song. Great work
Nice stuff. Thanks for posting some music to this channel. Hope to see ya sooner than later my man.
Hell yeah!!! Your rendition of this eclipses the original. Not an easy feat. Can't wait to see what you do next. Much respect.
Amazing
Love it! Love the hats to!
Such a great cover. thank you for sharing. I can almost hear Emmylou Harris singing her version right along with you. Now wouldnt that be something, Benjamin Tod and Emmylou Harris
Wow. Excited for this one!
Excellent cover Ben. I really enjoy your music. I've been playing guitar on and off for 27 years. As of the last 9 months I play fiddle and bluegrass banjo. Do you have any suggestions for keeping up on multiple instruments while working full-time?
Play every chance ya get my man
I've always tried to dedicate an hour. Some days I don't play at all but others I'll play for two hours. It all balances out I think. I've known too many who've given up on playing instruments but I know that's not an option for me.. If it does something for you and your soul you will find the time.
Hey, my first time hearing you and I'm suitably impressed, you have earned my subscription. That looks like an LG 2 that you're playing. I have a '59 of that model, beautiful tone but not as pretty as that one, seen some hard times. Nice playing man.
Pretty sure my life is complete now.
Really hearing in this version "only let him go so wrong" Ben know something I don't? Always heard long but liking it
Amazing Ben! Thank you for sharing 💙
shit... this was a good thing waiting for me after work
That was great. On point as always man!
Righteous
Really well done
Country music is just farm emo.
🤯
👍🤣
It’s heart , soul and so much more … get off your damn phone and try to give a shit
good stuff buddy.
Nice.
Wow
👍👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟
Nice Gibson
Nice job brother. Covered this one on my channel too. You should do "Nothing" like this. Your live version is bad ass.
Also Verlon Thompsons verof guy clarks song "the guitar" would be cool to see ya cover. If your taking requests. Lol
Here you can see how Townes finger-picked the chords and also how Steve Earle totally co-opted his style.
Fingerpickin is just a style it comes to ya or don't
No disrespect to Merle and Willie, but this is how this song should be done, spare and heartfelt, like Townes did.
Where do you buy all your hats???
I was sitting here ready to correct the spelling on the title when I decided to Google it first. Of course it was spelled "Poncho" and not "Pancho" when Townes wrote it. I shouldn't have doubted Benjamin. Shame on me.
Where can you find the tabs for this
FUUUUUCKKK YEEEAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Y'all heard of an old guy called Willie Nelson?
Willie covered townes van Zandt on the song Pancho and lefty
Is that an LG-2?
