Townes Van Zandt - No deeper blue

[josephkenny77]

TVZ died on New Year's Day 1997. Katie Belle, who was a preschooler at the time, came out of Townes' bedroom and said "Somebody come, I think my daddy is having a fight with his heart." When the family went into the bedroom, Townes had passed. RIP.

[clashaddict]

its called katie belle isnt it?

[allenbosox]

@clashaddict Yes, this is titled Katie Belle Blues, the blues referring to his daughter's blue eyes as opposed to the blues meaning sadness.

[iggerdanus]

@allenbosox I've heard it said Katie's eyes were brown, poetic license I suppose. Townes was the greatest.

[ShutYourMouthSinSin]

@iggerdanus They are brown, but when she was a baby they were indeed blue.

[TheEndKing]

Oh god, Townes was a father.

That's scary.

[badtux]

@TheEndKing Townes actually had three kids.

[ShutYourMouthSinSin]

@TheEndKing Townes was a great father, just so you know.

[1994g0]

Genius and deep overflowing compassion.What a loss that T.V.Zdied young.

[Lundrup]

[swellofthespeakers]
