Townes

It's been a while since I've posted anything non-book here. And my top 10 column has gone by the wayside (maybe some day I'll bring it back...). At any rate, sometime ago I came upon this guy, Townes Van Zandt. And he became an instant fave. Last night, I came across this chilling version of Pancho And Lefty. A favorite from a favorite. Give a listen and I hope you hear what I heard.
