Largely thanks to my parents' amazing love for music, I grew up with this kind of sound shaping my childhood. When things turned down, I was more likely to listen to Jackson Browne or Townes Van Zandt than anything else. I specifically remember listening to Dylan's Blood on the Tracks and Jackson Browne's Late for the Sky for a long, long time.
As I learned the guitar, and began to play at nights (on occassion) with my Dad, I always focused on rhythms and singing, not anything technical. To date, the most technical song I can play correctly is probably The Beatles' "In My Life." But I'd much rather strum along to The Byrds' "You Don't Miss Your Water" or Shake Russell's "Deep in the West" than anything else.
Anyways - just a great song I thought you'd enjoy. Well done, Glenn.
