Product Description

Steve Earle's "Townes," released on May 12, 2009, under New West Records, is a heartfelt homage to the legendary outlaw country singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. This alt-country masterpiece spans 54 minutes and delves into the raw, storytelling traditions of Americana and country rock. Earle's distinctive voice and gritty guitar work breathe new life into classic tracks like "Pancho and Lefty" and "Loretta," while original compositions such as "Where I Lead Me" and "To Live Is to Fly" showcase his deep connection to Van Zandt's spirit. The album is a testament to Earle's reverence for his mentor, offering a blend of poignant ballads and rousing anthems that capture the essence of outlaw country. With tracks like "Colorado Girl" and "Marie," Earle weaves tales of love, loss, and resilience, making "Townes" a compelling journey through the heart of American roots music.

This 2021 Limited Edition Reissue 2LP set is pressed on Clear vinyl.

Sealed Gem with Heartfelt Homage

Recently, I stumbled upon a sealed version at a nearby store. The gatefold packaging is stunning, featuring photos, entertaining liner notes penned by Steve Earle, lyrics for each track, and protective inner sleeves for the records. The vinyl delivers excellent sound quality, with impressive attention to the musical details and a cozy, engaging soundstage. My copy plays perfectly, with no noticeable surface noise. It's evident that Earle poured his heart into this project, creating a wonderful homage to Townes Van Zandt.

The vinyl sounds fantastic for being clear. It's super quiet and even. Awesome nod to Townes.

Based on what I can see, these two appear to be exactly the same. Should we combine them?
Steve Earle Honors Townes
4 out of 5 stars

Out there, you'll find plenty of Townes van Zandt tribute albums that vary in how good they are. Steve Earle, being a pal of Townes', does a fantastic job honoring his work on this record. The 2 CD set comes with an additional disc featuring stripped-down takes, just Steve and his guitar, and honestly, many of these outshine the main album tracks. Snag the 2 disc version if you can. It's all top-notch material.
