    Anyone a fan?

    I'm a new fan, only a few weeks, but I've instantly fallen in love.

    My favourite songs would have to be;

    Pancho & Lefty
    Mr Mudd & Mr Gold
    Silver ships of Andilar
    Rake
    Marie
    Tecumseh Valley
    Kathleen
    Our mother the mountain
    Loretta

    =D

    I loved Townes.
    Thought of him the other day. susanna Clark died. She was his muse (and married to Guy Clark).
    Think I'll go put some Townes on.....

    Townes is an unbelievable artist!

    If you like his stuff there are Documentaries you can check out that give a really great insight into who he was its really very fascinating:
    Be here to love me - a film about townes van zandt
    A Heartworn Highway - doesn't just cover townes but there's still a lot of cool artists around his movement

    My favourite song by townes would have to be:
    Nothin'
    &
    For the Sake of the Song

    Do yourself a favor and buy, steal, borrow or download "Live at the Old Quarter"
