/|\(;,;)/|\ There's an ocean of music, and I'm swimming as hard as I can. I use this blog to post music & commentary; I hope you find something here that does it for you. Peace!
If you’ve never listened to Townes Van Zandt, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. He’s the real deal, a man who wrote some of the saddest songs you’ll ever hear and lived a few too many of them himself. If you’re new to his work, though, I’d recommend you start with this live double-album, Live At the Old Quarter. It’s got almost all his best songs with no studio trickery—just one man and his acoustic guitar, playing for a crowded room held still and quiet. I chose this particular track—“Fraternity Blues”—because it displays something about Zandt that wasn’t always obvious: The man had one hell of a sense of humor.
