TOWNES VAN ZANDT

with DONNIE OWENS, LARRY CARLTON, DAVID COHEN, HARVEY NEWMARK

JOHN SUMNER, DON RANDI, ANN WHITSETT

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

In 1972 Van Zandt cut two perfect albums, one of them being High, Low and In Between. 

Poppy/Tomato Records' owner Kevin Eggers, who was responsible for many of Van Zandt's best records, 

produced this album with minimal backing that keeps the spotlight on Van Zandt's vocals and his songwriting. 

The record includes "To Live Is to Fly," the song Van Zandt considered his best, "No Deal," an absurd hard luck blues, 

a couple of gospel songs, "Mr. Gold and Mr. Mud," one of his most baffling poetic tunes, 

and the title track, an aching tale of heartache and confusion. The spare arrangements are 

as much folk as country, the two genres Van Zandt was most comfortable with. "Two Hands," a rollicking spiritual 

with bright female backing vocals and tinkling gospel piano opens things up. It's the most straightforward 

gospel tune Van Zandt ever wrote, full of exuberant joy. "You Are Not Needed Now" radically changes the pace, 

with its bleak, hopeless message accented by weeping pedal steel and Van Zandt's plaintive vocal.

Musically low key, but emotionally potent, High, Low and In Between shows Van Zandt digging deep 

into his troubled psyche and turning his heartache into soul-stirring art...(AllMusic)
