Texas singer and songwriter Townes Van Zandt is "one of the greatest country and folk artists of his generation" (All Music) and we are thrilled that the Townes Van Zandt's back catalogue reissues - representing his most important works - are now finally available in Australia through Domino Recordings. A cult legend whose songs are best described as "revelations", the highly influential and revered Van Zandt has written some of country music's biggest selling songs and has been covered by luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Plant & Krauss, Willie Nelson, Nanci Griffith, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Norah Jones, Cowboy Junkies and Lucinda Williams amongst others. Available once more as a respectfully packaged reissue, this album is the first stage of a release strategy which will see the label and the Townes Van Zandt Estate enhance and improve his musical legacy and awareness. "The best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." Steve Earle (his latest album, Townes, is a collection of covers of Van Zandt's work). Be Here To Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt is a 2004 film directed by Margaret Brown that chronicles the fascinating and often turbulent life of Townes Van Zandt. The film combines interviews Van Zandt's immediate family and contemporaries such as Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Guy Clark with rare footage of Van Zandt at home and in performance.
