We will never see the likes of this ever again. A true masterpiece from the master!

[michaelr]

There could not be a better introduction to Townes than this album. It really is superb.

[tomheinze]

At 67 years old, I have to say, this is one of the defining CDs in my life. Oh how I wish I could have been there live!!

[David-chzl]

My Uncle produced this album! He worked with Cowboy Jack Clement! He recorded the Album with. Sony portable 4 Track! The album was recorded in 1973 but was not released until 1977! I believe their was some kind of dispute that wasn’t ironed out until a few years later! Jack and my Uncle several more times thru the years! God Rest you Townes and Jack! My Uncle thought highly of both of them!!!!

[EriknShelly]

Townes didn't sing these songs, he lived them.

[felixgrundy]

Heard him twice in late 60’s at Cactus Cafe on UT campus in Austin. Changed my life.

[evelinekettle]

Amazing, songwriter, musician, humane, kind, tragic, beautiful man. Bless you Townes xx

[BluesHeavy]

At his best truly this album is a jem. I have listened to it hundreds of times

[voxigen]

I was lucky enough to see Townes Van Zandt live at Southport Arts Centre in 1994. I still have the ticket. I look back now and realise that I was in the presence of a genuine legend sitting just a few feet in front of me. My son has just started university and has started to spread his musical wings a bit more. I introduced him to the music of Townes Van Zandt the other day. I feel it's my duty as his Dad to make sure he gets a proper musical education.... :-)

I love the music of Townes Van Zandt, so much. Tonight we are going to a Townes music tribute at a club. Very much looking forward to hearing musicians play his music, of course I wish I could have seen him when he was alive.❤I love Townes finger picking style, when I was 17, I got my first guitar and lessons with a great teacher who I knew from a Coffee House, where all kinds of folk, country, rock music was played live, there was a large back room & I met my guitar teacher at 15, he told me where and what kind of guitar to get. Happy memories, my first song learned was Elizabeth Cotton’s Freight Train.😊

[WilliamTBooth]

How could i have not heard of this cat..i'm 77 and in my 20's went to coffee houses and nyc folk clubs but missed this...

[rexmarinecenter]

Touching, poignant lyrics, beautiful melodies, lovely finger-style playing, haunting yet comforting voice, engaging, likable personality and charismatic presence. Many artists can pull off a couple of these qualities and talents. So rare to have them all. Thanks, Townes and the Lord who sent you to us for too short a time.

[shelbyalright]

Wow I can only imagine being in this room. This is a masterpiece and Texas as fuck. Thank you for sharing

[robertdonaldson]

This man's work was so important. I don't have words to describe the feeling he inspires.

[Dr.JeremyDunks]

Absolutely incredible recording. Hushed those hooligans.

[jimmyswope]

I'm spending NYE with you Townes.No better place to be. Thank you for being here.

[steverodriguez]

RIP Townes...thanks for all the songs..

[FuzzyDancingBear]

Something about that intro just perfectly transports me to where I need to go in order to fully enjoy some old live Townes recordings.

[gcofield]

We need more of this today.Just pure southern country music with a twist of Texas..

[billbertinot]

I was in a folk/country trio, Dogtooth Violet. Joined by Dusty Hill on bass that night. We opened for Townes, it was in downtown Houston. A very hot and humid Houston night. They had their tape machine behind the stairs recording what was later released as Live at the Old Quarter.
When Townes went on he made us laugh with his jokes and blew us away by his genius music-storytelling. Thank you Townes!
