Townes by Steve Earle

Townes

One of our greatest singer-songwriters tackles one of our greatest singer-songwriters...brilliantly. Opt for the deluxe edition so you can hear both the band and the acoustic version of the songs. One of Earle's best and most heartfelt albums. (Damn, I only wish he included Waitin' Round To Die.)

Townes, by Steve Earle, is a serious, intelligent, deeply-conceived, sincere and touching tribute from a musician both entangled in his material and clearly observing and serving Townes' compositional intent. A masterful interpretation. Clearly a labor of love, beautifully arranged and produced.
