Great artist. I don't listen to him nearly enough, but absolute classic.

Same here.

Our Mother the Mountain is where it's at. Fantastic album.

Just got done listening to that album. After reading this thread got me in the mood to listen to him a bit. Have the self titled playing right now.

Self-titled is probably his finest outing, though everything from that to The Late Great Townes Van Zandt is very good.

Love Townes, and anyone who Steve Earle names his kid after has got to be amazing, right?

Does songwriting get any better than Townes? Loretta and Two Girls might be the two best songs ever written.

I got a version of 'Waitin' Round To Die' free with Uncut magazine about 4/5 years ago and it's a classic. TBH, I've heard the regular version and though it's a great song, something about this version is tremendous.

The sad thing is I lost the disc and havent heard it in two years, so I 'make do' with the original.

Might go listen to him now actually!

I have Waitin' Round to Die from the live album Rear View Mirror and it's my favorite version (although the performance of it on Heartworn Highways is close).

Van Zandt was labeled as a cult musician: though he had a small and devoted fanbase,he never had a successful album or single,and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print.Van Zandt was labeled as a cult musician: though he had a small and devoted fanbase, he never had a successful album or single, and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print.
