Free Music Review: My favorite live album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't ever leave reviews or anything but felt compelled to for this album. I bought this years ago when it first came out, having just gotten into Townes' music and, although I knew who the other two were, I wasn't as familiar with their songs. At the time, I found Earle and Clark's music a lot easier to admire than to love; simply put, this record changed all of that. There is a warmth and humor in this set that is rarely heard in any other their respective solo work. As the other reviews have said, it really is just like listening to a few friends trade songs on a back porch somewhere, with each other helping out now and then with a little extra guitar (mostly provided by Earle). It just so happens that these three happen to be some of the greatest songwriters the South has ever produced. I think that anyone who's even a casual fan of either one or all of the performers will find a lot to love here.Free Music Review: Hello, Is Anybody Out There?
Hit: 5 Stars
I find it hard to believe that no one has reviewed this beautiful album. So I'll give it a go.
If you're a fan of one or all of these artists, you'll love this album. The intimacy of the live performance in what sounds like a very small cafe is perfect. These guys write personal songs. Songs that are sometimes very, very close to the heart.
Guy Clark, for some reason, is an unknown treasure. His songs have no peer. Steve Earle is a rebel with a cause. And Townes Van Zandt is the drunken angel and poet that Lucinda Williams sang about.
My advice: listen and learn.
And thanks to the reviewer above regarding my Drunken Angel comments. I stand corrected.
But Townes was a bit of a drunken angel himself, I would say.
Free Music Review: Rarities...an absolute gem
Hit: 5 Stars
Great album, bringing together three of the great songwriter-poets of our time, who along with Blaze Foley constitute a world unto themselves. They got together to perform this benefit for a Dental Clinic! Townes even comments that he can't get dental (or any) insurance. All three are tight and brilliant, but the most heart rendering songs in this collection belong to Guy. The man is a treasure - he plays one of those guitars that he made himself (yes!!), it sounds beautiful..the same care and thoughtfulness is present in the songs..buy this...today!!
Oh..one correction to the other review on this page: Lucinda Williams' Drunken Angel isn't about Townes, but about Blaze Foley.
Free Music Review: Great Friends
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic collaboration of three great American singer song writers who also happen to be great friends. I just wish I had been at the Bluebird Cafe' when it was recorded.Free Music Review: Together at the Bluebird Cafe
