A Gentle Evening With Townes Van Zandt (Dualtone). Review by James Mann.
TOWNES VAN ZANDT A GENTLE EVENING WITH TOWNES VAN ZANDT Dualtone Considered lost to the ages when the original record company went bust, this performance of a young (23 years old) Townes Van Zandt at Carnegie Hall is a welcome surprise. He had only been performing for about three years at this point ...

September 1999 :: Music T-Z :: Townes Van Zandt (James Mann)
Townes Van Zandt A Far Cry From Dead Arista Austin When a poet dies, only the body stops. A poet's soul, if they were any good, would have been shared into the world by the time the movement of the blood ceases. Townes Van Zandt was a very, very good poet. His soul -- hopeful, sad, twisted force that ...

Sheila Scoville discovers the great Townes Van Zandt through John Kruth's freewheeling new testament to the hard-luck cowboy junkie, folk balladeer, lyrical healer and misfit hellion. And that doesn't even begin to sum him up.
TO LIVE'S TO FLY: THE BALLAD OF THE LATE, GREAT TOWNES VAN ZANDT BY JOHN KRUTH De Capo Press Cowboy junkie, folk balladeer, lyrical healer, pre-punk performance artist, misfit hellion, yet another self-destructed country star, Townes Van Zandt sure had a knack for eluding definition.

David Whited discusses North and South, Filth And Fire, and the darker side of life with Texas singer / songwriter Mary Gauthier.
... are your influences? Your favorite songwriters? I think most of us start off wanting to write like Hank [Williams] or Woody [Guthrie]. Then there's Townes [Van Zandt], of course. Good benchmarks if there ever was any... I also hear hints of a little Ray Wylie Hubbard in there. Oh yeah. Ray Wylie's a ...

The Essential Willie Nelson (Columbia/Legacy). Review by James Mann.
... songs such as Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Thru The Night" or the haunting "Pancho and Lefty" duet with Merle Haggard that gave its author, Townes Van Zandt, a much-needed cash flow.

... Records Since its inception, long, long ago, Tomato Records has been known as a haven for the singer/songwriter crowd, most namely the legendary Townes Van Zandt.

June 1999 :: Music R-Sp :: Rodriguez (James Mann)
... Devil In The Woods Weak, Cake-like band from California that boasts two folks who can't sing on key, and meandering, wimpy arrangements. Covers of Townes Van Zandt's "Loretta" and Sonic Youth's "Tom Violence" don't help -- this band is a snoozefest. Substituting angst and irony for art never works, ...

Jason Hatfield's group, Star Hustler, goes the trad-country route, with mando...
... " and, especially, the slide guitar fest "Lily" are, hands down, the best songs on the record. As a bonus, Star Hustler does a slowed-down cover of Townes Van Zandt's "White Freightliner," one of that legend's best tunes. The Van Zandt connection is genuinely fitting. Just as Beachwood Sparks gave country ...

December 1999 :: Music H-I :: Ray Wylie Hubbard (Matt Thompson)
... is a damn shame, because Hubbard is one of the best singer/songwriters to ever come out of the fertile Texas troubadour field, rivaling Guy Clark or Townes Van Zandt in terms of imagery, emotion and turn of phrase. Hubbard proves he's got what it takes on his newest release Crusades of the Restless ...
