For anyone who has read my previous comment on the great TownesVanZandt, or has heard and enjoyed his music, this DVD is a must see. If neither is applicable to you but you are interesting in an insight into the tragic workings of a genius, this is also a must.
This is the an often heartbreaking, sometimes amusing, always fascinating account of the life and times of TownesVanZandt: Texan troubadour, manic depressive, misunderstood drunk, lovelorn poet and close friend to a lucky and select few. VanZandt has written countless classic songs of loss, hope and heartbreak including the hits Pancho and Lefty and If I Needed You and has been covered by countless artists from Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris and Bob Dylan, some of whom are interviewed here.
As a biographical documentary, this is an engaging and lovingly crafted film ...
Advantages: Great songs and performances Disadvantages: Albums contain a few filler tracks, but not many
If you like country music (or music in general for that matter) and are not familiar with TownesVanZandt, you will undoubtedly be aware of a number of his songs as he has been covered by diverse artists ranging from Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett through to Robert Plant and even Bob Dylan. A tortured genius in life, battling depression and the bottle, VanZandt created some of the most hauntingly beautiful and lyrically poetic songs of all time.
This collection brings together his first 7 studio albums recorded between 1968 and 1978 and a set of out-takes and live recordings. If you are starting out with Townes, there is no better place to start as these recordings are by far his best. Many of his more well-known songs were recorded by him at later dates but pale in comparison with these.
Townes possesses a hypnotic ...
Advantages: Brilliant collection covering the peak of Van Zandts' career Disadvantages: None that I can think of
Unfortunately, it is a fitting tragedy that not nearly enough people are familiar with the music of TownesVanZandt. VanZandt died on New Years Day 1997, aged 52, when a heart decimated by alcohol abuse stopped beating during a routine hip operation. Having hardly any success during his lifetime, except through royalty-stuffed covers by more established artists like Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, posthumously his star seems even more descendent: never appearing in classic rock lists and only celebrated by fellow country musicians and a few knowing cult heroes. 'Texas Troubadour' is a box set that consists of the seven albums TownesVanZandt recorded for the Poppy and Tomato labels, from 1968-78. As he recorded only two more after this, before his death in 1997, then this collection represents the bulk of his career, and all his ...

Album Notes
Personnel: Townes Van Zandt (vocals, guitar). Recording information: Union Chapel, London, England (1994). In some ways Townes Van Zandt's live albums provide the best (or most honest) representation of the artist's affectingly intimate, heartfelt approach, which makes LIVE AT UNION CHAPEL a great addition to his discography. Van Zandt's introspective front-porch Americana transmits nicely from the stage of London's Union Chapel, and the set includes some of his best tunes ("Kathleen," "To Live is to Fly," and the oft-covered "Poncho and Lefty," among them). Excellent performances like this one help fill the gap left by the artist's tragic early passing.
