Uploaded by: Blumfeld
Video Description:
Hey folks, I made this video to honour the great singer & songwriter Townes Van Zandt, who passed away on New Years Eve 1997. The music comes from Lyle Lovett, who made an excellent coverversion of a TVZ song called "Flyin' Shoes" - hope you like it!

Thank you for the photos. You might be careful regarding scanning those record or cd covers, they are copyrighted. But you still did a good job. I knew Townes and he was a good man and in the top five songwriters of our generation. Not the best singer in the world, but what poetry. I will always miss him. There is a great tribute cd of all sorts of folks singing his stuff.

Nicely done. A great tribute to an amazing artist. Any Townes fan that has not seen the documentary "Be here to love me", by Magaret Brown, needs to find it and watch it.

Kudos for putting this beautiful tribute together for all of us who miss Townes so much. And i couldn't think of a better singer than Lyle Lovett to cover one of his most affecting songs- it definitely brought a tear to my eye. but as i watched this i couldn't help but thinking of the irony now that the first album i ever bought of his work was entitled "The Late Great Townes Van Zandt". that's for sure! it's no wonder that with his songwriting genius, so many other performers are in awe...

I feel so bad about the way Townes lost his long term memory w insulin shock therapy. It seems like he just stayed so sad after all of that. He sure brought a truckload of soul into the songs he wrote. I'm glad that Lyle did this one. Hurricane Ike is coming in. I gotta shut down now, before that monster gets here.

Lyle sang this a Townes' funeral. He kept looking away. Guy came on to sing and naturally made a joke. He made folks laugh so as to try and draw attention away from the fact that he turned his back and cried. Katie belle walked from person to person handing out flowers.

Townes was the greatest songwriter of his generation. The best way to honor him is to keep singing and playing his songs. I first saw him at the Saxon Pub on 38th and IH35 in about 1966.He sang Mr. Gold and Mr. Mud,one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard, before or since. He hated to see me show up, because I always wrote that on a napkin as a request, and he hated to have to try to remember it all. But he always did, and always perfectly, no matter how wasted he was. I miss him.
