ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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.

Van Zandt returned to religion in the country waltz "When He Offers His Hand," sang rock & roll   [ read more ]
