Essential Albums
- If you were lucky enough to stumble across master songwriter Townes Van Zandt in a small Texas club, here's how he sounded. The intimate setting, with just acoustic guitars and fiddle, makes this a prize for fans. Much of the set catches him in a romantic or philosophical mood. ("To Live’s to Fly" covers both.) "Pancho & Lefty" makes for an exuberant opener, but Van Zandt doesn't shy away from his darker side, wailing through the most disconsolate song in his catalogue: "Waitin' 'Round to Die".

About Townes Van Zandt
The wit, humor, and desolation of late Texas wordsmith Townes Van Zandt’s tunes made him an American songwriting icon who wrapped narratives like 1972’s bandit ballad “Pancho and Lefty” in sparse, haunting folk music.
