Townes Van Zandt - Our Mother The Mountain [Reissue]

Poet, musical genius, epic drunk, tragic figure, scion of wealth who often lived in near squalor, unforgettable live performer - the list could go on almost forever.

As the Fat Possum re-releases of some of albums that have been out of print for years prove, Townes Van Zandt, who passed in 1997 at the age of 52, was a musical treasure like no other.

His body of original music remains among the most flavorful, restless and profound ever written. To those unfamiliar with Townes' wondrous universe of sage, crabbed Western folk songs set in simple arrangements and his unmistakable, masterful singing, the genius present here can be astonishing. ~ Harp Magazine
