for my opinion he is one of the most underrated songwriters ever, at least for the average of people - but in fact, he was a genius and wrote unforgetable songs - just playing his guitar, no light show, no excessive technic featues - just a man and a guitar and a message.... i really love the music of TvZ.

@doylegaines1319 2 жыл бұрын

Townes at his peak? I'm not so sure about that - but I think I saw Townes at his most comfortable. At the Old Quarter in Houston in the 70's, playing in front of no more than 10 -20 people. I used to marvel at the fact that I could just walk in, listen, and watch this man perform his craft at just a few away from his audience. Certainly, at least for a time, Townes has to be considered as one of the greatest songwriters ever. And during that time it seemed like only a very few people knew about him.

@danielmims8467 2 жыл бұрын

The old quarter is where Steve and Townes first linked up. Townes was heckling him and Steve was already a huge TVZ fan. And Townes told him he couldn't call himself a folk singer if he couldn't play this folk song he kept requesting. So Steve busted out with Mr Mudd and Mr gold. And Townes mentored him after that. So I mean Steve was the one that said this was him at his peak . Just saying. To me there seems to be 3 different versions of Townes. The early stuff, the late 70s early 80s, and the old road weary . They all are good. Lungs is better with old Townes singing imo. Mudd and gold is better in the 70s and 80s. Just my thoughts

@doylegaines1319 2 жыл бұрын

@@danielmims8467 Yep, that's a classic Townes Van Zandt anecdote. I remember Townes playing a weekend gig at the Old Quarter and Don Sanders was there one night or more. I'm not sure but it seems that Don Sanders was either filling in for someone who was supposed to play and didn't show up or maybe just doing a guest set. Either way, Townes finished his first set by saying that Don Sanders was there and he would play, but he used a sarcastic tone. After a short period Don got up and began to perform and Townes went behind the bar and began to act agitated. He was interjecting in a loud voice ,saying things like 'Hey Donnie, don't forget - this is MY gig'', and similar remarks. Don just grinned the whole time and kept playing. We all reacted with humor because Don seemed comfortable enough and just kept grinning at Townes, but to this day I'm not sure whether Townes was heckling Don for fun or for other reasons. But I have to say, Townes always treated the Old Quarter audience with respect. And I won't forget the night I saw Townes step outside the door, put his arm around an old wino sitting at the curb (Austin & Congress) brought him inside, sat him down at he bar, and made sure he had popcorn and beer as long as he stayed.

@danielmims8467 2 жыл бұрын

@@doylegaines1319 that's freaking cool man. I love TVZ. I met him once in Houston at the summit . Steve is my cousin so we went down to see him and Bob Dylan play. I was maybe 7 years old but I got to go backstage and meet everyone and Steve introduce us to Townes who wasn't even there to perform he was just there. My mom wanted to meet Dylan but he was not having visitors still paranoid from lennon being shot. But he sauntered up to me before he took the stage and asked me my name and who I was there to see . My mom was super jealous.

@@WindEnergy I remember that. I also saw him go outside and bring in a scruffy old gentleman that was standing at the corner asking for change. Townes took him to a seat by the bar and told the bartender (might have been Dale Soffar) that he would pay for his beer. I often wonder if he was the guy referred to as Sinbad from "My Home is in the the Blue Ridge Mountains". Probably not, but it would have made a good story..

Van Zandt wrote dozens of songs that were major hits for other artists. Sad;y, he was so loaded most of the time that his own performances were not usually special - except maybe for the amazement he was still standing. Google his songs:) The original Willie and Merle video of Pancho and Lefty has Townes in the background in various outfits. Look for the thin Mexico soldier.

He was at his best when it was just himself and his guitar. On some recordings, with strings and whatever, his plaintive purity was obscured... I guess they were trying to make his music more accessible to the mainstream, make him more successful...but it just didn't suit him. As lovely as the versions of Pancho and Lefty done by Emmylou or by Haggard and Nelson (and they were lovely and successful), the best was just Townes and his guitar.

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.

He’s got a nice speaking voice, and tells a good joke... but I don’t see what the big deal is about his songs or his singing voice. Would rather listen to someone else sing his songs.

When others do his songs, they can smooth them out and pretty them up; I love the versions of Pancho and Lefty done by Emmylou or Willie and Merle. But when Townes was alone with his guitar, he put so much feeling into them...those are the best versions.
