Townes Van Zandt (LP)

Vinyl reissue of Townes Van Zandt’s self titled third album recorded at Bradley’s Barn in Nashville, Tennessee first released in 1969. Since his death at the age of 52 in 1997, the reputation and popularity of Townes Van Zandt has grown greater by the day inspiring books, a documentary and renewed interest among fans and contemporaries alike. He left behind a musical legacy of beautifully crafted songs and a legion of ever\growing grateful admirers. Produced by Kevin Eggers and Jim Malloy at Owen Bradley’s Nashville studio, Townes Van Zandt includes definitive versions of the first song Zandt ever wrote ‘Waitin’ ‘round To Die’ together with ‘(Quicksilver Dreams Of) Maria’, widely regarded as his greatest love song.
