It makes me happy that townes admires dylan's music. Those two artists plus Phil Ochs make up the holy-trinity of music in my life...these artists are beyond important to me, they are a means to surviving! not just pretty songs or clever lyrics, this sorta stuff is hardcore honest emotion being released through beautiful melodies/ words.

I didn't know Van Zandt. I discovered his music just two days ago and I definitely fell in love with it. And him.
Your four videos of him are extraordinary, intimate, sweet, and for what I know, the best around. On Youtube, at least.
Thank you.

I like both his version and the Boss', but I'm partial to Townes' singing over almost anyone. Just me though...
