Steve Earle - “Townes” - Buy It

text: daniel couch

Long ago, Steve Earle declared himself an apostate from the Church of Dylan and pledged his allegiance to Townes Van Zandt. On Townes, Earle kicks the dirt loose from Van Zandt’s catalog and then grinds it into the crevices for posterity. This is a labor of love - fresh and timeless.

Reminds us of: Townes Van Zandt | Justin Townes Earle | Bob Dylan’s coffee table

Love these photos and review. So, these DJ sets are at 7:30? I don’t really get it. And are these gonna continue once the Whitney moves? And most importantly, where can I attend an “hour-long clinic on shaking ass?”
