" Townes Van Zandtis the best songwriter in the whole world and
I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say
that." - Steve EarleSteve Earle's new album Townes, is his highly
anticipated follow up to the Grammy Award winning album Washington
Square Serenade. The 15-song set is comprised of songs written by
Earle's friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter, Townes Van
Zandt.The songs selected for Towneswere the ones that meant the
most to Earle and the ones he personally connected to. Some of the
selections chosen were songs that Earle has played his entire
career ("Pancho and Lefty," "Lungs," "White Freightliner Blues").
He learned the song "(Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria" directly
from Van Zandt. Earle taught himself "Marie" and "Rake"
specifically for making this record. Earle recorded the New York
sessions solo and then added the other instruments later on in
order to preserve the spirit of Van Zandt's original solo
performances to the best of his recollection.The track "Lungs," was
produced and mixed by the Dust Brothers' John Kingand features Tom
Morelloof Rage Against the Machine/The Nightwatchman on electric
guitar.
