As previously
announced, this June Neurot Recordings will issue a special three-way split CD
in tribute to late American folk music hero Townes Van Zandt in North America,
the homage bearing contributions from SCOTT KELLY (Neurosis,
Shrinebuilder, Tribes of Neurot, etc.), STEVE VON TILL (Neurosis, Tribes of
Neurot, Harvestman, etc.) and SCOTT
"WINO" WEINRICH (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, The Hidden Hand, Shrinebuilder,
etc.).
As part of their
weekly "Wino Wednesday" installment series, today The Obelisk is hosting an
exclusive stream of one of Weinrich's offerings from the Van Zandt homage, in
the form of the record's seventh song, "Nothing," RIGHT HERE.
Also still available
is Scott Kelly's rendition of "St. John The Gambler" downloadable HERE.
After having
performed material by Van Zandt solo and through various collaborations on stage
over recent years, on solo releases and more, the aptly entitled Songs of Townes Van Zandt brings several songs each from STEVE VON TILL, SCOTT
KELLY and WINO together in praise of his deep musical influence on them all. Through
a personal contact of the artists, newly-formed label My Proud Mountain was
founded specially in order to release this tribute, with Neurot Recordings
handling the North American release of the album on June
12th.
