Steve Earle – Townes: The Basics (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Townes Van Zandt looms over American songwriting the way few writers ever have, and nobody has carried that torch with more devotion than Steve Earle, who famously declared Van Zandt the greatest songwriter who ever lived. These bare-bones recordings, just voice and guitar, strip away everything but the songs themselves, which turns out to be all you need.
In 2009 Steve Earle released an album of Townes Van Zandt songs. It began as solo guitar and vocal tracks recorded in October 2008 in New York City. Other instruments were added later in subsequent sessions for the album in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. Those original recordings - The Basics - are available on color vinyl for the first time.
