Among the most widely admired and influential Texas songwriters,
an alt-country godfather with a dry, witty, allusive writing style.
Townes Van Zandt's music doesn't jump up and down, wear fancy clothes, or beat around the bush.
Whether he was singing a quiet, introspective country-folk song or a driving, hungry blues,
Van Zandt's lyrics and melodies were filled with the kind of haunting truth and beauty that you knew instinctively.
His music came straight from his soul by way of a kind heart, an honest mind, and a keen ear for the gentle blend
of words and melody. He could bring you down to a place so sad that you felt like you were scraping bottom,
but just as quickly he could lift your spirits and make you smile at the sparkle of a summer morning
or a loved one's eyes -- or raise a chuckle with a quick and funny talking blues.
The magic of his songs is that they never leave you alone

SLEEVE NEAR MINT but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Whether in sweetly tender ballads or honky cowboy ditties, Van Zandt truly wrote
of heartache and heartbreak with the best of them. And though his voice lacks
the warm honey feel of Lyle Lovett's, he has a down-home, melancholic charm all his own.
You need not strain to hear the lonely in his voice. You can so easily picture him sitting
by a fire out on a prairie somewhere serenading the full moon. For Van Zandt was
of a different breed. In "Buckskin Stallion Blues" he sings "If three and four were
seven only, where would that leave one and two?" That's a contemplation for the ages.
More a kindred spirit to Hank Williams than Lovett, his life was in his songs.
And the world is all the better for that...(AllMusic)
