Intro Townes Van Zandt via the Great Unknown

  • October 19, 2009

Introducing Townes Van Zandt via the Great Unknown is a tribute to the music of the late Townes Van Zandt from 19 international artists. Van Zandt’s introspective country-folk and driving blues were filled with honesty and beauty that swells from his soul and inspired many; some of his best known songs include “If I Needed You,” “To Live Is To Fly,” and “Pancho and Lefty.” This is a great compilation and clearly highlights Van Zandt’s influence on contemporary music with tracks by some of today’s tender-hearted troubadours like Thomas Denver Jonsson, J. Tillman (Fleet Foxes), Jad Fair, Anders Parker, Great Lake Swimmers, and the Be Good Tanyas. Releases on October 26th. – Written by JFelton
