TOWNES VAN ZANDT
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

IL VINILE E' PRATICAMENTE NUOVO E SUONA BENISSIMO.
LA COPERTINA E' QUASI PERFETTA, MA CON TAGLIO SULLA COSTA SUPERIORE,
E UNA LEGGERA PERDITA DI COLORE SUL DAVANTI, ANGOLO ALTO SINISTRO.
CON ORIGINALE BUSTA INTERNA
On his third album, Townes Van Zandt recut three crucial tracks from his debut album,
"For The Sake Of The Song," "Waiting Around To Die," and "I'll Be Here In The Morning."
It was some indication of the obscurity in which he remained enveloped, but no indication
of the quality of his work. (Actually, Van Zandt rerecorded songs from his first album on his later ones
because he disliked the earlier recordings.) As usual, his closely observed lyrics touched on desperate themes,
notably in tbe mining ballad "Lungs," but they were still highly poetic, especially the album-closing
"None But The Rain," which reflected on a failed relationship. Van Zandt's finger-picking was augmented
by spare arrangements, usually featuring one added instrument for color, such as a fiddle or flute...(AllMusic)
