2012 tribute to the late great songwriter Townes Van Zandt from Steve Von Till, Scott Kelly and Wino. Townes Van Zandt never reached significant fame during his lifetime. Although highly respected by his peers and other songwriters, the mood and atmosphere of his music, coupled with his sometimes dark and sarcastic nature, was not suitable for the commercial country-industry of Nashville. Van Zandt"s songs did, however, reach popularity in his day through artists such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Emmylou Harris.
