Free Music Notes for Far Cry From Dead
Free Music Review: Yes as Irony Goes, a Far Cry from Dead, Nearer to Nirvana
Hit: 5 Stars
I have about 9 Townes albums, each one as cherishable as the others, and yet this one transcends because of a number of factors:
1. The character imbued in the songs, and more particularly the versions put down here.
2. The voice, contrary to customary notions it is wrecked (and it may be) perfectly inhabits the sadness and longing in the compositions (when I first heard Sanitarium Blues I thought, s*t he sounds heavily sedated but then, when you're singing of your personal experience locked away in a sanitarium as a child, shot full of Thorazine, it comes to you that this is pure honesty in song.
3. The arrangments are mostly fabulous, even if they were laid down after the vocals (after his death I believe, according to his biography "To Live's to Fly")
If you are like me and find poignancy and redemption through this brilliant artist, you will love this album. Townes Van Zandt, the train wreck, the errant father and partner, and the beautiful spirit who touched many lives through his artistry. He was damn funny too, read the biography mentioned.
