5.0 out of 5 stars country blues/ from Pittsburgh, June 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Legend (Audio CD)

Legend, good title for this disc. For the price you get 46 songs of well-produced tunes. I'm more of a blues/rock listener,but was looking for something different and I found it. Van Zandt is a masterful troubadour. When I can feel the pain of heartache and the beauty of love in words and song, well isn't that what good music is all about. He is hard to compare to anyone, but I hear a mellow Steve Earle and some Dylan. I hear whiskey-soaked storys throughout Legend,any real man can relate to these songs.Van Zandt's jammin' buddy,Guy Clark said,"A self-destructive, depressive,reclusive alcholic is not, perhaps, built to last. And that, according to Legend was Townes Van Zandt.If you like music that epitomizes life, Get This.

What more can I say? This is an excellent collection of a music legend's early works. If you are at all interested in the blend of folk, blues, and country that is Townes van Zandt, you can't go wrong buying this one.

If you like Townes this is the essential CDs to own. He was/is one of the greatest hardly known singer/songwriters of our time.
