Townes Van Zandt

A songwriter of unprecedented depth, Townes Van Zandt brought to his country/folk offerings a lyrical grace that rivals the great poets. He's best known for dark, haunted imagery, but had his greatest success with others' versions of his gentler songs. His untimely death on New Year's Day 1997 robbed the world of one of its greatest troubadours.
