There are only two kinds of music… if you know anything about Townes, you can finish that sentence.  You either get Townes and love him, or you don’t.  There is no in between.  And if you don’t get him, well then you probably like that other kind of music that Townes talked about.  I still remember the day that this guy Spencer told me I had to check this out, and he hands me the Townes Van Zandt Discography.  Thank you, brother.  I could go on and on now, telling you all about Townes’ life, times and tribulations and the incredible music it produced, but I’m  not going to.  Because if you don’t know him, well then this is a present that you need to unwrap yourself.  But I will give you a little taste-
