"Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." – Steve Earle
This is a rare copy of a record by one of the greatest country songwriters of all time, the late great TOWNES VAN ZANDT
Whether he was singing a quiet, introspective country-folk song or a driving, hungry blues, Townes Van Zandt's lyrics and melodies were filled with the kind of haunting truth and beauty that you know 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. The magic of his songs is that they never leave you alone.
Released on the German label Exile Records in 1991, ‘Rain On A Conga Drum’ is a live album, recorded October 1990 at the Quasimodo Berlin.
Extremely rare and unavailable for many years (not re-released on CD), this live set includes some interesting covers, including Lightnin' Hopkins' "Short-Haired Woman Blues" and the Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers," a long, funny story concerning the composition of Van Zandt's most famous song, "Pancho & Lefty," and the otherwise unrecorded original "Catfish Song," a typically poetic and downcast Van Zandt composition. The album sleeve has liner notes by Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens) and Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies)
The record and sleeve are in absolutely mint condition.
