I guess I like sad music too.MuddyValleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561027881611420247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527757877422839218.post-63386772559521641212011-03-31T11:20:13.674-07:002011-03-31T11:20:13.674-07:00Neil Young's "Harvest Moon' is one of...Neil Young's "Harvest Moon' is one of my favourites. Long May You Run, lots of others I can't think of right now, Townes Van Zant? I have to admit it is only within the last year or so that I had even heard of his name. I'll have to read a little more about him when I get the time.Ralph Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873610891410100788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527757877422839218.post-85263345882514104132011-03-31T08:23:36.566-07:002011-03-31T08:23:36.566-07:00Townes Van Zandt never had a hit album.

He spent his musical career taking lots of drugs, drinking very heavily, and playing dives. <br />After his death in 1997 he was "rediscovered" by sort of folks that think lots of pain equals real emotion.<br />I think he was a good song writer and I've always kind of liked him. His music had terrible distribution.

I dig the long guitar freak-outs.<br /><br />Don't know as much Townes as I should. I read a joint interview of him and Steve Earle in Rolling Stone many years ago, wish I could remember more about it.Orin Nusbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866830808570707036noreply@blogger.com
