When troubled cult folk singer Townes Van Zandt died in 1997, his close friend and "apprentice" Steve Earle vowed to honor his memory. 2009's Townes is an artistic representation of this promise, as Earle tenderly covers some of the late singer's greatest tones. Infecting them with the woozy blues and country zing, Earle makes Townes words about hard-living and even harder drinking ring as true as ever. Great tribute and hell...just great music.
