Free Music Review: Essential TVZ
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is a must have for any fan of Townes or any newbie to his music. The recordings are of the artist performing solo, live with Townes' signature sense of humor and idiosyncracies all thrown in as a bonus. His hypnotic guitar playing and mesmerizing lyrics will not disappoint. This collection of Townes' music is intelligent, witty, and emotional all rolled into one. A fan of good, pure songwriting would buy this album right now.Free Music Review: Total disbelief
Hit: 5 Stars
My reaction to this double album is total disbelief. Disbelief that it took me thirty years to find this, after encountering Townes van Zandt's songs through so many other musicians over the years. But more importantly, disbelief that the power of his performance riveted a rowdy, sweltering Houston barroom to pin-drop silence. What on earth was he doing, writing songs like that, going to places outside of time that few others can go?
Don't talk to me about 'unplugged' albums -- "Live at the Old Quarter" is the original, and probably the greatest one. It features Townes van Zandt in top form, performing a lifetime's worth of stellar songs, at the age of 29. His poetry set to music is original source material, seemingly channeled from a different and better place:
To live is to fly
All low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes
"Live at the Old Quarter" is a treasure trove and a masterpiece.

A great cd for those of us who were not blessed to see and hear Townes Van Zandt live during his lifetime. If you have never experienced the unbelievable talent of this Texas Troubadour, then this is the perfect cd to make his acquaintance and fall in love. Free Music Review: Great Folk Singer
Hit: 5 Stars
I haven't listened to this since about 1985 which I had on an album and I was very glad to be able to purchase it on C.D. It has brought back some old memories and inspired me to play some more of his songs on guitar, some of which I learned from my guitar teacher when I was a teenager. I hope more people buy this and realize how good of an artist Townes Van Zandt is and know he is the person who wrote the song "Pancho and Lefty"- not Willie Nelson. Thanks Amazon for providing me the access to be able to get this recording again.
