| Notes | The voice is gone, the guitar playing is gone, and Townes can't remember the lyrics of his own songs. I bring this torrent to you with mixed feelings. On one side - don't play this recording if you want to gain fans for Townes Van Zandt. Please, play his studio albums if you want to do that, or interpretations by other artists. This is a recording for the true fan only - to conserve a piece of TVZ history. Read about this great singer/songwriter - there is plenty of information readily available on the web - and you, discerning listener, will understand why I ask you this. Jeanene Van Zandt herself has expressed her doubts about these recordings on numerous occasions, and let's respect that, too. On the other side - I personally love this recording because of the strength of the songs themselves, undiminished even though their composer stumbles and falls. I love it when Townes' humour appears to have lasted until the end. I think it a good and rewarding thing that I have heard it - it completes the picture of Townes Van Zandt as I have seen him on about 8 occasions. It is a fine recording, too. Do not insult your fellow fans by destroying this recording into MP3's. |
