Townes Van Zandt Biography
Ask any Texan who the best American singer-songwriter of the rock era is and odds are the answer won't be Bob Dylan but Artist, a Fort Worth native who brought to country music an unprecedented poetic depth and a lyrical grace to rival literary greats. Registering only cult sales during his career, Van Zandt mastered darkly haunted but earthy imagery (epitomized in the desolate anthem "Waitin' Round to Die" from his 1968 debut) and projected a palpable but riveting anguish in even his most gentle songs (such as "If I Needed You"). His commercial highlight came via a bestselling Willie Nelson-Merle Haggard duet of his outlaw narrative "Pancho & Lefty," but his untimely death--resulting from a protracted struggle with addiction--on New Year's Day 1997 robbed the world of one of its greatest troubadours.
