"Out of Touch" early demo

The earlier version of “Out Of Touch” on the Deluxe Edition of CWOAGR (disc 1, track 15) might be to what he is referring. It is indeed very, very different – much slower tempo & more of a country vibe than a rock / blues one…

Interesting Tom considering the time difference between CWOAGR, Essence and this Austin Chronicle article.

Here is a quote.
LW: It was written before Car Wheels. I had some of the lyrics as far back as 10 years ago. Like I first wrote “Out of Touch” in 1981 when I moved back to Austin with Clyde. I have it on an old demo tape that far back. It went through all these different incarnations and rewrites. I was almost going to put it on Car Wheels, but I’m glad I didn’t.
AC: When I first heard “Out of Touch,” I interpreted it as a soundtrack for meeting an old love. Another reviewer said it was about Gurf Morlix.
LW: I wasn’t thinking about the ex-lover thing as much as the plight of the human condition. That awkwardness, being out of touch. The ones I wrote about Gurf were “Reason to Cry” and “Broken Butterflies.” That anger.

Here is the full article from the Chronicle Aug.10/2001 entitled “Spit Out the Seeds” ( Another good read on Lucinda, then again, aren’t they all? )
