"If Townes Van Zandt had lived 40 years ago, he might be as revered, and as widely known, as Hank Williams is today. The comparison isn't farfetched. Both men live in their music, as if singing and writing and being human were the same thing, and all as natural as breathing. Their song- writing craft and vocal musicianship are exceptional, but what you hear is beyond all that; it seems to be the direct, untrammeled expression of a man's soul . . . Hank Williams died in 1953, in the back seat of a Cadillac. But figures like Mr. Van Zandt remind us that the wandering bard, that American archetype, is still very much with us. He's the guy in the cowboy hat, sitting in the corner of the bus station with his beat-up guitar case. And his music will live long after the voices that declare it in or out of fashion have been stilled and forgotten."
-from "A Hard Road, Seldom Taken" by Robert Palmer |
