Flat Blue Johnny with a blind man's cane

Now, I'm someone who thinks of people's opinion on music as being like food. It's about one's individual taste.
But, I have to ask, is this country music?
Looks more Michael Jackson or Madonna to me.

This performance is from his 1979 appearance on "Austin City Limits." The entire show is fantastic, but this song is probably my favorite on this for it's bluesy feel.

My Son said the Musical breaks in this tune sounded like it was from an old western.🤣
I definitely hear some "Beefheart" in this. Maybe it's just me.

I've always preferred "scores" to films to random pop songs.
Gustavo Santaolalla is one of my favorite composers for films.
"De Ushuaia a La Quiaca" is just an exquisite piece of music. It's one of many perfect performances that enriched this film experience.
