This is the first serious biography of a man widely considered one
of Texas’—and America’s—greatest songwriters. Like Jimmie
Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, Townes
Van Zandt was the embodiment of that mythic American figure, the
troubled troubadour. A Deeper Blue traces Van Zandt’s background
as the scion of a prominent Texas family; his troubled early years
and his transformation from promising pre-law student to wandering
folk singer; his life on the road and the demons that pursued and
were pursued by him; the women who loved and inspired him; and the
brilliance and enduring beauty of his songs, which are explored in
depth. The author draws on eight years’ extensive research and
interviews with Townes’ family and closest friends and
colleagues. He looks beyond the legend and paints a colorful
portrait of a complex man who embraced the darkness of demons and
myth as well as the light of deep compassion and humanity, all
“for the sake of the song.”
