Steve Earle – Townes (CD)
Product Details
Van Zandt spent decades as a songwriter's songwriter, beloved by Earle, Emmylou Harris, and Willie Nelson alike, yet chronically underheard by mainstream audiences during his lifetime. Earle's decision to record an entire album of his mentor's songs is an act of genuine devotion, the kind of tribute that comes from losing someone whose music shaped you at the roots.
Steve Earle is set to release Townes, his highly anticipated follow up to the Grammy Award winning album Washington Square Serenade, on May 12th via New West Records. The 15-song set is comprised of songs written by Earle s friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter, Townes Van Zandt. Townes will also be available as a deluxe two-CD set, as well as double Limited Edition 180 gram vinyl.
