Bio
.. .. ....Click here for The Official Townes Webstore.......... .... Townes used to say, "Man, I could have been a Poet but this stupid music keeps coming with it." Townes was a funny guy..... He wrote some of the most stunningly introspective songs of our time. His songs evoke imagery and visions of otherworldly places and beauty. His songs reach a place in your soul few writers ever enter. The characters in Townes songs are usually the downtrodden, derelicts, drifters, whores and those less fortunate than most of us, though we can all identify with their "humanity" through Townes' words. He's gone to those dark places, so we don't have to. .... ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< .... WE'VE ADDED A SERIES OF DREAMS THAT CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAD AFTER TOWNES DIED THAT ALL CAME TOGETHER DURING JOHN KRUTH'S RESEARCH FOR HIS BIOGRAPHY ABOUT TOWNES "To Live's to Fly - The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt." .. IT'S A TRIP! .. ....http://www.townesvanzandt.com/dreams.html.... ...... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< Purchase, TOWNES VAN ZANDT CDs, DVDs, T-Shirts, Posters and more ....Here, at the Official Townes Van Zandt Web Site.... -
