It’s still hard to believe that Jay Bennett’s gone. In the month since his passing, I’ve been on a regular diet of both his solo work as well as his immeasurable contributions to my favorite band. Lately, I’ve been playing Jeff Tweedy & Jay Bennett’s take on Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You In The End” from Old Town School of Folk Music Fest in Chicago (July 25, 1999). It may be one of the best songs ever written as far as I’m concerned.

Have you checked out Beck’s cover of this? Awesomeness

I couldn’t agree more.
This song has always meant a lot to me.
I recorded a tape of some of my acoustic stuff for a few friends and put a cover of this on the end as a “bonus track.”
This is a great version, as is Becks.
Thanks for posting this.

Hadn’t heard that cover before.Thanks for posting.
I’m pumped to see Wilco and Okkervil River tonight at the Mountain Winery in Northern Cali.

Love this song. They made some great music together, sad the way it ended for Jay.
