Townes Van Zandt - Townes Van Zandt (1969)

I'm not sure if I have been hit with such a gut punch that is "Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel". Wow. What an incredible song. I can't get over how well written it is. The chorus keeps me coming back, I just can't put it down. And the bittersweet closer of "None But the Rain" I think I listened to six times in a row. Incredible. Townes really is something. Wow, I can't believe it took me so long to dive into his repetoire. Maybe this is all hitting me at a perfect time in life. The music is inspiring, it makes me want to pick up the guitar.
