This week, the anticipated Songs Of Townes Van Zandt --
the three-way homage compilation album with contributions from SCOTT
"WINO" WEINRICH, SCOTT KELLY and STEVE VON TILL --
is officially available via Neurot Recordings in North America. Bearing nine
songs from iconic American singer/songwriter legend TOWNES VAN ZANDT,
with WEINRICH, KELLY and VON TILLeach
contributing three of their most beloved, personal tales from one of their
musical heroes, the album showcases these classic, harrowing pieces of
Americana in a more modern, and extremely personal fashion.
In celebration of the album's release, today BrooklynVegan
is streaming the VAN ZANDT anthem "Black Crow
Blues," as recorded by STEVE VON TILL (Neurosis, Tribes
of Neurot, Harvestman, etc.) AT THIS LOCATION.
Additionally, the Obelisk is streaming WEINRICH's
cover of TVZ's "Nothing," RIGHT HERE, and SCOTT KELLY's rendition
of "St. John The Gambler" is downloadable HERE.
After having performed material by Van Zandt solo and
through various collaborations on stage over recent years, on solo releases and
more, the aptly entitled Songs of Townes Van Zandt brings several songs each from STEVE VON TILL,
SCOTT KELLY and WINO together in praise of his deep musical
influence on them all. Through a personal contact of the artists, newly-formed
label My Proud Mountain was founded specially in order to release
this tribute, with Neurot Recordings handling the North American release of the
album.
Songs Of Townes Van Zandt is available for
purchase DIRECT FROM NEUROT.
