¨Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I´ll stand on Bob Dylans coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.¨ - Steve Earl
...ditto, only I´d add Aussie songsmith Paul Kelly alongside Townes´. I love all old country/blues, like Mance Lipscombe, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississipi John Hurt, and the ¨outsider country¨ scene of the seventies, involving Townes, Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, etc. and all enviable shit-hot pickers of strings, such as Doc Watson, Roy Bookbinder, Jerry Douglas, David Rawlings, the list keeps going on,
May,
