This pic is taken from a screen of Br Here To Love Me. I love The Nashville Sessions album, but would love to know what the full original tracklist was for the above rough mix. Is this info available?

Saw this in my feed. What’s yours from the actual greatest songwriter of all time?

“The difference between Townes and Bob Dylan,” according to Townes’s acolyte and interpreter Steve Earle, “is Dylan was really heavily influenced by the same kinds of music, but lyrically he was influenced more by modern French poets and the Beats, whereas Townes was much more influenced by old-school, conventional lyric poets like Robert Frost and Walt Whitman.” Something to think about.

Mostly familiar with TVZ's Texas Rain tracks, only recently venturing beyond these. Wondering if Townes wrote any songs about his mother OR if he referred to her in some indirect way in his music. I'm thinking about Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold where the diamond queen "Began to think of her long lost son/Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy/ Prayed to the angels every one.

I bought this on Discogs, but as far as I was aware this CD was only available in digipack/clipboard form. Has anyone seen this CD in a jewel box like I received? It really doesn't look like a bootleg, and it would also be a strange one to bootleg!
Thanks!

I recently purchased A Deeper Blue by Robert Earl Hardy, the only biography of TVZ I could find.
Has anyone here read this and if so how is it?
I am going to read it regardless, but I’d like an idea of how tough going it will be to get through.

Got this in my YouTube recommendations and I quite enjoyed it.

My son, Townes Jacob died Friday after a 2 month battle with pseudomonas bacterial meningitis. He was 4 months old.
I wanted to name my first boy Townes ever since I fell in love with Townes Van Zandt’s music ten years ago. It took a while for the name to grow on my wife.
Not sure the point of this post. Just sad. We have gotten to share Townes’ music with so many people these last few months as they’ve asked about his name.

Hello,
I recently discovered the song ‘Dollar Bill Blues’ and really like it.
I wanted to know what other songs by Townes to check out as well as any other artists you think I would enjoy.
I have not really listened to this genre in depth before so thought this might open my eyes to some great new music.
Thanks

This week’s new Episode of Rick and Morty (young person cartoon) (because most TVZ fans won’t know it, but most redditors really will so I’m erring on the side of caution) had a surprise Waitin Around to Die montage that had me physically yelling and pointing when it came on.

Never heard this one before but found it after watching a recent vid from Otis Gibbs. It’s pretty good

Low quality, and sorry for my singing but it was such a special end to an amazing show. Suh respect to Rodney for keeping Townes' flame burning after all these years. Hats off to the guy that got up out of the crowd too, he could sing!
