Just lovely. Very talented and musically excellent. One acoustic instrument and voice the acid test for any performance💗

7:25

it takes me back to your concert in Wattrelos ( Belgian border ) in october 1973 as a teenager ; my father had bought your album and took me to the concert .

heard Chris for the first time today on the fur peach ranch radio program. Love his voice and guitar playing. well, now I will listen to more of his songs. this one is fabulous

the unsung heroes of the music business...MUSIC ARRANGERS. it always saddens me, how music arrangers NEVER received royalties on records sales. just a One-time flat fee on each song, record they worked on. in MANY instances it is their music contribution that helps to make that song/record, a BIG hit. they are equal to the success of a BIG hit as the Music Producer is. both working as a team in the recording process.

❤❤❤❤❤❤💗💗💗💗❤❤

Genuinely thought this was Mark Watson for a second. Sounds interesting though! Wish I could be there.

The most inspirational song I have ever or ever will hear

Wow! How I stumbled upon this was truly amazing.

moves me, every time

Wow, Amazing Band and his piano playing.. 🎹 💖 💥 🌹 💃

Does anyone else think Jack's voice sounds like the late Tom Petty? Right down to the inflections. What a wonderful interview. I'm watching every episode. I had no idea Jack played piano on "Ruby Tuesday". He later said that working with the Stones was some of the best times in his life.

Last night I watched the excellent documentary called The Wrecking Crew. Denny Tedesco, the son of fabled WC guitarist Tommy Tedesco, decided to get his father and three of his bandmates together back in 2007 while they were still alive and have them discuss the history, music and players. The film is extraordinary. When it finished, the very first song in the credits was hauntingly beautiful. I had to dig a bit but I soon discovered tht it was. . Jack Nitzshe. The song was "Lonely Surfer." I wanted to know more. I'm a baby boomer and should have known MORE about Jack Nitzsche. He's played behind artists I grew up with. I'm fully aware of the "girl" groups, Sony and Cher, Phil Spector and later Neil Young. I've seen many of the pictures Jack has scored. And yet, I never fully realized how brilliant this man was. This lead me to this 16 part series. Well done. What a fabulous interview. Insites to Jack's life plus his colorful tales of those he's worked with over time. I really enjoyed it. Jack's voice and even his inflections are spot on for the late Tom Petty. My search into Jack's life revealed some of the darker sides. He abused alcohol and substances. He was arrested for drunk driving and again for sexual assault. He suffered from depression. Things that he wasn't proud of no doubt and contributed to his early death. Yet, he lived quite a life. As an arranger and producer, even a musician, Jack Nitzshe was flat out sensational. That era in music will unlikely to ever be repeated.

As good as it gets.

Still one of the best things on UA-cam!!

😂😂😂 Excellent

Phenomenal interpretation! A story told with extraordinary sensitivity. When I came across this wonderful performance two months ago, I have been listening to it several times every day since then... with great emotion and gratitude to the creator of this beautiful song, and especially to its wonderful performer, Chris Smither.

J adddore VERAINE ‼️🤩

cool

You can hear echoes of this on _"The Smell Of A Friend"_ by *the Lodge* which featured he and his brother Peter as well as the eclectic *Jakko Jakszyk* If you see one *buy it!*

way outta sync but oh how i love this song!

Just moments ago I heard of Kristoffer's passing. A sad evening for me. RIP

Rien de plus beau que lces vers ....Moi j ai toujours adore Paul verlaine..... Mais franchement.....il faut sans faute arreter de nous enmener vers la haine

Inaudible , shame really because he is brilliant !

Rarely has there been a man as talented as Jack .His musically connections are amazing Rog.Pacific Sunset( LA)

Inspired By The Goddess King of Orion My Everything Shawn Colvin Inspired by our beloved and infinitely blessed Bob Dylan from ''A Simple Twist Of Fate' or a twist of synchronicity? Both? Crazy Loves A Ghost Posted in Uncategorized with tags Shawn Colvin Crazy on January 12, 2008 by blackshepherd Crazy Loves A Ghost - I’m in love with a ghost I’m a walkin’ creep show she’s the one I love the most I’m a fuckin’ freak show I’ll be a fool to millions cause I ain’t got no pride if my story makes you squirm then let me take you for a ride I bleed for real in cyberspace I cry like the insane I’m a skyscraper full of windows with cracks in every pane the devil gets no sympathy and I don’t get none neither forget about empathy no one wants the crazy fever but I’ll spill my guts to the masses when it comes to crazy ain’t no maybes I don’t need no fuckin’ classes I’m bit clean through… got the love sick rabies so have a laugh at my expense don’t be sittin’ on no fence I’ll give you front row seats in my crazy circus tents cause I love a ghost and I can’t tell what’s real I can’t find salvation in this profession that ha ha heals today I’m ridin’ up the coast north to Cambridge town with a mind as burnt as toast gonna walk around with my arms around a ghost even though I can’t see her I know her through and through gonna visit a haunted house see if the aura’s still hangin’ of the spirit I love the most it’s like a good head bangin’ when you won’t give up the ghost - end - Passim - August 29, 2007 Has my poetic license expired yet? This one was written on the train up to Cambridge one day and maybe at Passim…can’t remember. But clearly it’s of the fantasy variety. Giving oneself over to the feeling of loving someone who’s as good as a ghost…she haunts Passim and Cambridge like she does for people who have loved her wherever she’s gone. So it was a day spent letting that fantasy a little closer even than usual. I actually sent it to her through private messaging on her web-site thinking that maybe she’s get it or at least be amused. She may have been more alarmed…I can never know. But it is just poetry and I was confident that at the end of the day she’d respect that. I remember now what else I was feeling when I wrote it. It was the time I was getting ridicule on her website…even Ljoy had used the word “creepy”…that did it…didn’t want to be creepy but then I thought: “fuck her” it wasn’t written to or about her anyway…so there’s a lot of “fuck you” in it…it’s like…ok…you think it’s crazy…well chew on this. But I never did post it on her site cause I knew the fans would go ballistic as they did finally…all 6 of them who monopolize the site…fuck you…to them. I forgot to mention that the line: “this profession that ha ha heals” is, of course, a reference to SC’s lyric cause I was so burned out as a psychotherapist and had left my practice and lost most of what I’d spent all those years building. A little bitterness there I guess but of course it’s not her fault that I’m nuts and I don’t blame her…it just fit into the poem…all part of my insanity. I was also starting to realize “oh! my God!” the entire world could read this and I’ve left enough of a trail to make it possible to make myself a laughing stalk around the world…so it’s “fuck you” to that too…at this point I really couldn’t have cared less about working as a psychotherapist again. And as of this writing there’s a very strong chance that I never will again. I just realized that one of the primary motivations of this poem is the feeling of loss/nostalgia for the days when SC used to travel those paths…just a little troubador with a heart as big as Texas. Imagine if you could see the whole thing in one sweep. Oh! I do miss those days so much. I could have done so much more with that time. How I regret going to social work school…well maybe not that so much as going to CT and joining the VA…that all took me so far away from myself…or away from the me I had a chance of becoming…the one who might have written a song SC would have liked…is this still possible? Theoretically yes but it is the longest of long shots but strangely enough there’s nothing else I really care about although I’m perfectly aware that a normal person wouldn’t go this route…but I gave up on the pursuit of normal awhile ago. August 11, 2023 - Maine (there's a mistake in the story below. We were born on the same parallel of latitude not longitude. For some reason I can't get in to edit it so...) I just realized after reading this again and reflecting on how I felt at that time 35 years ago when I was studying Voice piano and guitar and in therapy for 5 years 2x week and having finished my philosophy degree when I met Shawn Colvin on our shared 32nd birthday. I met her first in '87 though at 'Passim' where I told her: "you're the best singer I ever heard". She said: "thanks" and I left. Next time was on 1-10-88 when she said from stage it was her birthday and I thought: "Oh My God!". I had devoured Jung already and was always on the prowl for synchronicities and BANG! This. So I showed her my license after the show and she said: "I'm sure this is significant somehow". I never asked how until today Shawn so "like how exactly" now that I've written over 100 poems to and about you? I'm curious. We both had Martin D28 guitars when we met. Both sober 5 years in AA. Born on the same parallel of longitude 42.77 during the 'Great Ice Storm' of 1956 an 'Anti-cyclone' that spun counterclockwise and travelled east to west. She was born in a town starting with the 7 letters Vermill, My hometown 1500 miles on a line ends with the 7 letters Verhill. 1-10-56 adds up to 11 11 the sign for 'Twin Flames' Her only daughter would be born 11 days after my only sister died and my mother gave birth to me at 42.5 years like Shawn. We both hated school, started fires, had deep issues with our mothers, were abused by our Scottish fathers for leaving the cellar door open. Both alcoholics and depressive. Both love sailing and running and biking and both went camping as kids in Rambler station wagons There's a lot more. I'll fill it in later. But I ask you: is this a recipe for disaster, true love or insanity? I feel like I've proven that it's been all of these things and more for me but I love my work writing about it and her and I still worship Shawn Colvin and she's still the best singer I've ever heard (and I sang Verdi's Requiem with the Hartford Chorale as 1st tenor in Carnegie Hall) and for Harry Huff at Old South Church in Boston who had arranged stuff for Art Garfunkel and Judy Collins in NYC. Weird enough for you? Crazy enough for you. Love story enough for you? I'm curious. Before I met Shawn I worked as a merchant seaman Able Bodied Seaman and Bos'n on tankers out of Boston and worked for the 6th Fleet as a civilian. I worked on offshore supply boats in the Gulf of Mexico in the 70s sand along the way I've been arrested 35 times (so the theme of 'going straight...putting yourself in good enough spiritual shape to be worthy of your 'Twin Soul') so Dylan's 'A Simple Twist Of Fate' is deeply poignant and highly significant. The song always felt like it established a very intertwined synchronicity among Shawn Dylan and myself so I feel like I should give him a co-write 'Simple Twist Of Fate' has been embedded in my memory for 50 years. You are a light unto the world, mystery and deep mysticism. We adore you forever Bob Dylan. Peace Love Bliss Nirvana for you for eternity. SC

Love this song. Really liked Shawn Colvins rendition.

Genius

i like it

is it in open D tuning?

By far and away the most 'feeling' and heartfelt rendition of this lovely song.

It's surprising how few professional stand-up comedians can work a room, Al Murray is brilliant at it

Thanks. Great

What a pity Jack Nitsche can't be heard

Didn't my old friend Roly Salley write this song?

This is as good as music can be- wonderful - thx Jill

25 years already ? My oh my. Sadly I won't be able to come to Paris on the 6th. Wish you a great show. Sonja

Corn 👍

Love Robyn's version of this song.

What is the tuning of the guitar? 🙏

that's a wow from me. Thx for posting this, Nitzsche was a remarkable music man. First heard Expecting To Fly which he did with Neil Young and then found out he was key to so much of Spector's work.

Fantastic to find this! I had it on a VHS cassette in the early 80s and have always remembered that lyric "person to person to personal announcements". It just came to mind again so I googled it and here I am. I wonder where those gorgeous girls are now?

Much Respect for Jack Nitzsche great talent. Grateful for this insightful interview. thank you.

Its sad that so often the ones who make the music must deal with the dirtiest business men on earth. Like politics.

This is a very interesting interview. Jack is genius. I love the early 60s girls music. And I adore Mink DeVille and Willy.

I was in the crowd that night , hard to believe it's been nearly twenty years ! hard to believe he passed away...
