TB Sheets is about a woman dying of TB and Van was very young when he wrote and recorded this song. I think he was 21. It is primarily a blues influenced song. Van certainly incorporates jazz, rock, blues and folk in his music, but TB Sheets is primarily blues infused. Powerfully emotional song that I have listened to for many decades.
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
