Biography

Townes Van Zandt lived the songs he sang. Sadly, that meant he couldn't live long. The hard-living Texas songsmith was 52 when he died on New Year's Day, 1997. Though he failed to make an impact on the charts during his lifetime, he was greatly respected among the country and folk singers around him and his works have been re-recorded by many notable artists including Nanci Griffith and Lyle… Read more in Amazon's Townes Van Zandt Store

5.0 out of 5 stars a genuine classic, July 30, 1999
This review is from: Townes Van Zandt (Audio CD)
Nope, it's definitely not lively folk music (see other review below). This is pure lyric poetry with simple acoustic accompaniment, and it is powerful and beautiful. No siamese cats on shoulders or baggy pants on Picasso here, this stuff is real and it's deep. It is one of the CDs that should be at the foundation of a good TVZ collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars great songs, December 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Townes Van Zandt (Audio CD)
I, too, am a great fan of Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, et al, and cannot possibly understand how anyone could appreciate them and consider this to be trash!

None But the Rain, Quicksilver Daydreams of Maria, and Lungs are all permanent classics of acoustic country/Americana. And every other song is somewhere between good and great.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect album, July 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Townes Van Zandt (Audio CD)
This is the fourth Townes album I have gotten, and it is my favorite so far. These, as are all his songs, are wonderful. This album will amaze you, and you will go out and get all his stuff. If you have never heard any of his stuff, get out there and get some of it.
