Product Description
Description
The melancholic troubadour/poet whose name was legend in Nashville and Austin, Townes Van Zant inspired a generation ofprogressive country artists such as Lyle Lovett and RichardBuckner. His untimely passing left a void that A FAR CRY FROM DEAD attempts to fill. Consisting mostly of new versions of classic Van Zandt songs, the album was constructed by overdubbing a crack country-rock band onto vocal-and-guitar tracks recorded by Townes in '90s and late-'80s.
The result is a successful updating of the Van Zandt catalogue, the excesses of his early albums replaced by a leaner, meaner aesthetic more in keeping with his own uncompromising approach. Key tracks like "To Live's To Fly" and "For The Sake of the Song" combine rapturous flights of poetic imagery with an earthy, hard-bitten sensibility and a gift for simple, unforgettable melodies. The two previously unheard songs, "Squash" and "Sanitarium Blues", are slight compared to the majesty oftheir neighbors, but Van Zandt fans should be grateful for whatever they can get in the way of new material.
