I was waiting for that song to be released for such a long time!! thanks JR

What incredible memories flying into Nashville meeting up with KFC, newshoes for yr show there.

Next day i think i drove alone to Huntington, Alabama, to catch yr show there. talking with thomas on the parking lot, as he was learning a new tune.

Memories……….

Thanks for looking out for us all, as we are sharing so much nice memories with you guys and yr music (especially thinking on somone at the moment who unfortunately is not longer with us….)

Saw you in Louisville on that tour. I just looked back at those photos when you posted this. Great night and intimate show. It was so wonderful, just like your version of this song. Man, I get so excited when I see High Shelter in my inbox! Thank you again for all of these. You don't know how much we've needed these from you.

I always loved your version of this song. After hearing it I immediately learned it and started covering it occasionally at my own shows.

Can’t believe of all the shows I saw in 2008, I missed the run of you and Tommy.

It was hearing the cover of Barroom girls that made me go buy a Gillian Welch CD, and I was not disappointed.

Wonderful cover. Makes me think from that genre you'd also really do a great version of 'Return of the grievous angel'.

Love the control you had in the song. One of the reasons I enjoyed listening to you sing. Ability to pull the power back to phrasing that could soothe your soul. Also, enjoyed the strip down vibe of the band during Backbooth era.

For whatever it’s worth, I never saw you as a pretender. How could your words resonate with so many if you were not speaking truth--bravely , brazenly in front of throngs of hungry seekers? This soul seeker finds more wisdom and revelation in your thoughtful and inspired words every time I listen to your voice. Two regrets I live with: that I didn’t HEAR your music because I was too busy with the busyness of life, and that we didn’t stay connected. I guess it’s like we used to say, “shouldacouldawoulda.” Life is strange, my old friend.
