... Townes Van Zandt:



















"Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that."
~ Steve Earle

NB: I grew up in Van Zandt County in East Texas. Townes Van Zandt was the great-great-great-grandson of Isaac Van Zandt, a prominent leader of the Republic of Texas, one of the founders of Fort Worth, and the namesake of my home county.
