## Description

Omnivore is proud to offer reissues of Townes two seminal releases, High, Low And In Between and The Late Great Townes Van Zandt. Both on CD and for the first time in decades on high quality, 180 gram vinyl!The Late Great Townes Van Zandt was Townes Van Zandt s sixth release hitting the shelves in 1972. It built on the previous year s High, Low And In Between, adding texture in both song and production. The album is probably best known for its Pancho & Lefty the song Emmylou Harris covered for 1977 s Luxury Liner and which Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings would take to the top of the charts in 1983. Full of originals, as well as covers like Hank Williams Honky Tonkin , the album was Van Zandt s perfect storm. With every element in place, it s arguable that Townes would ever hit this creative height again.The Late Great Townes Van Zandt might be his masterwork. And, it is a release that should be in every collection of great American music. This beautifully remastered edition will be available on CD, in a digipak with liner notes from award-wining scribe Colin Escott, as well as on clear, 180 gram vinyl for the first 1,500 pressed. (Future editions will be on standard black vinyl).It s not too late to know and love The Late Great Townes Van Zandt.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legendary and Deserving a New League of Fans
*by R***R on October 28, 2013*

The reissue of the album may seem like an extravagance to those who have been able to purchase couplings of this recording with "High Low and In Between", but record companies are always finding some new way to flog a product. Cramming CDs full of back catalogue however can, in some instances, detract from the beauty of a distinct recording. This is the fan's reissue, annotated by Colin Escott with historical context. The Late Great Townes Van Zandt may by its title have intended to be ironic in its day, but the sentiment has nonetheless been realised much more conventionally. He really is the late and the great TVZ.Some artists are of their time, and some are timeless. In the way that a great fireside singalong can be a wonderful and life affirming experience, so can putting on this album. It really is that great, as is High Low and In Between. I don't find the orchestral arrangements as obstrusive as those on Our Mother the Mountain. In fact on the track "Snow Don't Fall" it is at least arguable that the arrangement augments the drama in the text.Not sure about the comment made about sound quality I've read in another review. Sounds perfect to me in the 2013 re-issue. Matter of opinion I guess.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A NEW MUSICAL FRIEND & HERO.
*by M***. on January 11, 2017*

The more we listen to Townes Van Zandt, the better he gets. We are slowly accumulating hisavailable & we listen to his efforts weekly. His writing is unique (Dylan, Cohen, Simon, et al.).his voice unusual (& easy to understand). No way to describe hiswork other than saying it'sfunny, poignant, beautiful & sad. If you have yet to experience this man's fine work, this albumis an excellent place to start. You will be happily surprised (I predict) @some of his songs -- "Oh.my, that's a song he wrote?! Wow!!"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful!
*by F***R on January 31, 2020*

I had never heard Townes Van Zandt's music until a friend of mine put it on and it is pure folk music! So, needless to say I bought the CDs and I am NOT disappointed! If you love folk music I am sure you will enjoy his voice, music, and the lyrics.
