Songs Of Townes Van
Zandt Out Now In North
America
This
week, the anticipated Songs Of Townes Van
Zandt -- the three-way homage compilation album with contributions from SCOTT "WINO" WEINRICH, SCOTT KELLY
and STEVE VON TILL -- is
officially available via Neurot Recordings in North America. Bearing nine songs
from iconic American singer/songwriter legend TOWNES VAN ZANDT, with WEINRICH, KELLY and VON TILL each contributing three of
their most beloved, personal tales from one of their musical heroes, the album
showcases these classic, harrowing pieces of Americana in a more modern, and
extremely personal fashion.
In
celebration of the album's release, today BrooklynVegan is streaming the VAN ZANDT anthem "Black Crow Blues," as
recorded by STEVE VON TILL
(Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot, Harvestman, etc.) AT THIS LOCATION.
Additionally, the
Obelisk is streaming WEINRICH's
cover of TVZ's "Nothing," RIGHT HERE, and SCOTT KELLY's rendition of "St. John
The Gambler" is 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.
Songs
Of Townes Van Zandt is
available for purchase DIRECT FROM NEUROT.
