Lightfoot was a ♏︎Scorpio Brutha - & his moodiness resonated with me about as far back as I can remember.

Interesting comparison ~ contrast to Townes Van Zandt like that maybe.
His observance was deep but his delivery strong & sonorous & yet still understated. He wrote, sang & played good in other words I guess...

But I did joke about his "mumbling" sound at times like the song "Endless Wire." Love the song, but if you know the melody, you could just mumble along and sound just like his version.

Speaking of Zimmerman, I watched a YT vid last night of his 1966 tour, a live date in Dublin. The crowd is booing and jeering and Bob says, “No wait I’m going to play a folk song, it’s a folk song.” Crowd cheers, Bob replies, “Yeah I thought you’d like that. Here’s Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.” 💀 Dead 😂 Nobody handles hecklers with as much style as Dylan.

Or on the famous 'Albert Hall' show wasn't AlbertHall ('Judas!') - where Bob starts mumbling unintelligibly until everybody quiets down to try & hear him ...til he says 'if you just wouldn't clap [interupt him] so loud'. Next Level stuff. Coehn @ Isle of Wight another one...

Oh it's almost certainly Waylon on lead, he was obsessive about that (and why shouldn't he be?) but I wouldn't be surprised if Chet contributed. It's an interesting question: how much guitar did Chet play on the Nashville Cats sessions?
