Steve Earle: Townes
img via
Country-rock badass Steve Earle (you might know him as Walon on the motherfucking Wire!) is working on a tribute album for the quintessential country-folk-blues badass Townes Van Zandt. Townes has been one of my favorite discoveries in recent years and Steve Earle is probably the most appropriate person to pay tribute to him. I mean, he did name his son after him...
Townes, the album, will be available 5/12. For now, you can hear Earle's version of the Townes classic "Pancho & Lefty" at his MySpace
