I wasn't aware of Townes Van Zandt until I was introduced to his music by some co-workers. "Our Mother the Mountain" was the first song I heard, and it stuck. "Tecumseh Valley", "St. John the Gambler" and "For the Sake of the Song" are also some of my favorites from this guy. He was an amazing lyricist. Its a shame that he basically drank himself to death in the hills outside Austin. But with music like his, its almost what you come to expect.
