I'm 83, and found Townes only recently. I'm so sorry I missed him for so long. I envy you for being his friend; congratulations!, that would have been great! I'm grateful for finally getting to enjoy his music, his depth about life. Thank you for sharing your comments. RIP, Townes. And, thank you!

@@ClarenceCheek-mb7qp dyannemitchell5664, I must say that it's great to see that an eighty three year old has found the legend that is Mr Townes van Zandt.!. I'm glad you have found him because everyone in the world should have the privilege to listen to Townes's songs. He really puts his heart and soul into the beautiful songs that he sings. He changed my life nearly 20 years ago and now I cope with life so much easier nowadays. Life is hard sometimes but if someone finds themselves kind of lost, then a listen to Townes would help them to find themselves again.!. Townes is just the greatest thing that ever was and I love the guy so much and I miss him not being here with us. Rest my sweet prince.!. As for this dyannemitchell5664 , well she is just thinking that she is a friend of Townes but she's not. How could she possibly know Townes.?. No-one knows Townes, apart from his family and friends. It makes me laugh to read comments of people that think they know someone but they really don't. I don't believe this Dyanne character.!. She's a liar.!!!.

[@jimrebr]

I’m so grateful that Emmylou Harris recorded Pancho and Lefty on her 1976 album Luxury Liner, that is how I came to love the talented songwriter Townes Van Zandt. I have been immersing myself in Townes music for years and years & my oldest son got tickets for all of us (me, husband, it’s his birthday, son & girlfriend) to go to a Townes tribute concert this weekend, so excited 👏❤️🥰

[@mattrogers7521]

Heard her version while hitch-hiking around the US in 1979..i remember thinking how strange a Dutch or German guy could write such a great cowboy song. Twenty years later Utube solved the problem 😂😂.

[@jimrebr]

@@mattrogers7521 That’s a great memory. I love Townes Van Zandt, I have always known he was born in Austin, he was a Texas through and through, he also lived in Colorado because he forests. Going to music festivals is fun, especially with our sons and their women.

[@ronstewart2871]

Such a great artist. Both with playing the guitar, but more importantly is the words he came up with. I'd say as good as the early Dylan, or Paul Simon....The very sad part is so many people don't know much about him? ...especially 'Pancho and Lefty', all my friends when I ask them "who wrote Pancho and Lefty",,,, they say Willie. I correct them and tell them Townes wrote the song. Now they are educated, and some of them didn't finish High School.

[@redoberon]

There has never been a musician like him

[@jamesholden1022]

My friend discovered Townes in a magazine about 15 years ago.When we listened to his songs they totally blew our minds!. The best singer/songwriter that ever was is Townes Van Zandt!!!. A pure genius!. I have 7 CD's of his music and heard hundreds of his songs.I am left with tears running down my face, listening to him all day and night. When you find someone who writes songs as great as Townes's that hit that mark means he's GOT to be listened to and really get the recognition he deserves!. Sadly he didn't get that recognition but more and more people are discovering him and listening to his songs. Rake, is a favourite of mine, I think it's some of his best work. Highway Kind is another favourite of mine. FUCK all his stuff is great!!!......He's number 1 in my book. So sad he passed away at just 52 but his legacy will live forever!!! R.I.P my dear Townes!.

[@beyond.the.paradigm359]

I'm just getting into this man's music and I'm wondering why I hadn't until now. One of the greatest song writers of all time.

[@cherylpemberton1676]

Curious: How'd you find him? I found him watching a show about Coast Guard pilots in Alaska; one was leaving three base and transferring to another in the lower 48. He was interviewed on a little local radio station, asked which song he'd like to hear & he said, "To Live Is to Fly." I looked it up and was in love with the music! Little did that pilot know the song is not about actual airplanes!!

[@beyond.the.paradigm359]

@cherylpemberton1676 Well I heard of him just being interested in other folk and country singers like Johnny Cash. I listened to one song and didn't go much further. Recently I got into Blaze Foley through a documentary series I saw and he happened to be close friends with Townes. So it's really thanks to Blaze Foley who is one of the most underrated song writers that a lot of other country singers covered.

[@rtcastleberry]

(laughing) He had about 3-4 songs that were great and that he recycled from album to album. He's more "legend" than actual output. Dylan wrote more classics in 18 months in the Sixties than Van Zandt did in his entire career.

[@Destin65]

@@rtcastleberry "According to Susanna Clark, Guy Clark’s wife, Van Zandt turned down numerous invitations from Dylan regarding a collaboration. Even though they were fans of one another, Van Zandt knew if he worked with Dylan he could say goodbye to the anonymity he had." Why choose one over the other when you can like both? This isn't a stupid either/or game you non-musical dumbass.

I was introduced to Townes Van Zandt a year ago because someone in my family was playing him a lot. I always stopped what I was going to listen and I still do.

I don't know if Townes is the best who ever lived or whatever. For singers, I still love Jones best. For songwriters, I must disagree with Steve Earle: I think Steve is a good as Townes. I will say Townes is the creator of one of the very few songs that is actually too sad for me to listen to. That would be "Marie." I can endure a lot after 70 years of practice, but I can't take that one.

[@hudsonthrownunderthebus]

Jones was a great singer but never wrote his own songs. Van Zandt was the whole deal. Totally original guy.

[@MMG-q1v]

@@hudsonthrownunderthebus Jones wrote a few. Seasons of My Heart and Color of the Blues are two early ones, from when the East Texas twang was untouched. Townes is on another level. But Townes does not touch Jones as a singer. Not to my peculiar sensibilities anyway. Wherever those pipes came from (no family history, no childhood mentors from church), he could engulf the listener in emotion that feels so real. (Sorry about the inconsistent verb tenses; but he’s dead and I’m still feeling the emotions.)

Please 'know' that I love You forever no matter what happens but I pray that maybe this year we'll talk as seer to seer both 'seeing' that this love I feel for You is 'real' and eternal. I love You now as always and always will. May God bless You this year Shawn Colvin with inspiration for Your lovely mind. May Your spirit be lifted and may You sing as heaven intended. Meanwhile I'll watch the stars for any sign and You'll be the first to 'know' if 'We' are to be blessed but I 'know' that You already 'know' so I must pray to You again. Please be kind. You never know what You may find in a heart that skips a beat but catches up to You in time to 'know' true love. All my affection trust and faith is with You this year Shawn and if I don't get to see You go in peace grace and love as You always have and always will. You always have been a beacon to my soul so please don't be angry because I followed it home to You. Quantum kisses forever for You from everywhere Michelle Colvin btw: There is a thousand times more synchronicity in 'Our' story than in this movie and that's a fact.

I think Adam Driver should play Townes in a biopic

Nah, lets start using lesser-known actors instead of this constant repeat of the same 15 faces. We want to Eat the Rich, not cuck to them. No more aristocrat worship.

I prefer the lyrics of the first version

Is this the guy who got his mail everyday alone and shuffled to the boss’s whistle River boat while the little dogs sat in dentist offices for wrestlers?

That wasn’t his song, he covered it.

This is very frustrating for me to hear because some of the overproduced versions are so inferior to others out there. Specifically Tecumseh Valley, Rex’s Blues, Flyin Shoes and even Pancho and Lefty. Ugh…. It’s a real shame other people were in control of how his music sounded.
