Hit: 4 Stars
If you're new to Townes I recommend "The Best of", which is 75% great. This collection is 50/50, though economically a good deal. The problem is that there are a several straight country songs, gospel tunes, and joke songs--that might have been cool in concert but don't rate repeated listening. When TVZ is at his best, like Dylan, Neil Young & Leonard Cohen, he defies categorization, and instead is simply one of the best songwriters you'll ever hear. Gems on the first album on this CD include "You Are Not Needed", a stunning song, "Greensboro Woman", "Highway Kind", & "To Live is to Fly" (a song you wish went on forever). Highlights of 2nd album include "Snow Don't Fall", "Poncho & Lefty" (his version being much better than Emmy-Lou or Willie's hit versions) & "Silver Ships of Andilar", a great sea-shanty that Gordon Lightfoot would have killed to write. I just wish TVZ had covered "Gates of Eden" & "Blind Willie McTell" by Dylan. They would have fit him like a glove... soaked in whisky.
High, Low And In Between/Late Great Poster
UK reissue of original 1972 Poppy label album. Musicians include Larry Carlton & David Cohen (ex-Country Joe & The Fish). Includes detailed sleevenotes.Packaged as two albums on one disc, these are among the best of Van Zandt's erratic studio recordings. The first is often overlooked, but it has many songs of dark, marvelous realism, true and accurate as arrows. Kevin Eggers's production is never heavy or busy: he mostly lets the songs breathe beside piano and guitar. And the poetic heights of the title track and "The Highway Kind" are remarkable by any standard. Late Great is important for a little known Guy Clark song "Don't Let the Sunshine Fool You," as well as an orchestrated "Pancho and Lefty" and the sweetly simple "Heavenly Houseboat Blues." Both records show Townes's belief in the abracadabra of words, that their magic is as primary to being human as love and death and kindness and cruelty--those intense qualities that distinguish his work. --Roy Kasten
