Somebody stole mine and I just came back online to get it again and it's out of print and expensive as all get out. OK, it's also worth it, but . . .

Poet: A Tribute to Townes Van Zandt Poster

'Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that'. (Steve Earle). Great tribute from 15 artists including Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, Billy Joe Shaver, Cowboy Junkies, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle and the Dukes and more. Gatefold digipak. 2002 release on Catfish Records.
The songs of Townes Van Zandt are destined to be for folk artists what the works of Gershwin are to saloon singers. The likes of "Pancho & Lefty," "If I Needed You," and "To Live's to Fly" are the quintessence of troubadour music, thanks to the somber grace of the late Lone Star legend's language and the engaging simplicity of his melodies. Poet gathers a talented assortment of Van Zandt contemporaries and apostles to pay tribute to the man by lovingly reinterpreting his songs. Steve Earle electrifies "Two Girls" while Billy Joe Shaver tackles "White Freightliner Blues" with similar fervor. "Tower Song," one of the most poignant breakup songs ever written, is revived by Nanci Griffith, and Willie Nelson provides a conversational version of "Marie." Stalwart fans of these gems will always prefer hearing the originals and live versions performed by their composer, but they'll find plenty to respect and enjoy in this lovingly compiled salute. --Steven Stolder
