Townes Van Zandt - Legend: The Very Best Of [2xCD]

Townes Van Zandt was one of the single most important singer-songwriters of his or any generation. Townes was a Country Outlaw by deed before the phrase was coined, and was a maverick genius of an artist throughout his life.

This CD is Legend by name, and Legend by content, including some fine bonus duets alongside Townes' achingly-beautiful classics.

100% unreserved SCM recommendation for this release.
