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!

a friend is like the light.

a friend is like a flower that blooms just for you..and we can be our real selves when we see what's true..a friend is like a gentle rain when you thirst..and we are dancing rings around a rose called mother earth..a friend is like the moon choosing to reflect the light..and we couldn't see the beautiful stars unless it was for the dark of nights..a friend is like a flower we send to ourselves..a gift that just keeps on opening until the light of love is shown and felt.

Hey Townes thought you're dead... shame you had to leave way too soon. Hope you're happy now. Thanks for everything.

Townes had a heart that was 5 miles wide and 10 miles deep

...and you can hear it in his every word.

Pure genius

Hey to all of you, screw all the medications, bottles, pills and counselors, all you need is a Townes song, sometimes a Townes album ( make that two ).

Hi freinds of Townes, hope everything's alright with you out there. I spent a wonderful time in the south of France and wrote some new songs. Share the feeling of the waves and the shore and the tide and listen to "Aquablue" and two other new songs on myspace ...
All the best for you ...
