2019 - The Best of Townes Van Zandt

2019 - The Best of Townes Van Zandt (Flac)

Townes Van Zandt was an influential American singer-songwriter known for his profound storytelling and emotional depth in music. Born into a Texas family with a background in oil and cattle ranching, his life took a challenging turn during adolescence when he faced mental health struggles, leading to various treatments. Despite these difficulties, he developed a passion for music, drawing inspiration from artists like Lightnin' Hopkins and Bob Dylan. Van Zandt began performing in the 1960s, crafting songs that often depicted the lives of drifters and working-class individuals, and he gained recognition for his unique voice and poignant lyrics.

Over his career, Van Zandt released several albums, including notable works such as *Our Mother the Mountain* and *The Late Great Townes Van Zandt*, the latter featuring some of his most famous songs like "Pancho and Lefty." His music, characterized by a blend of country, folk, and blues, resonated with both critics and fellow musicians, leading to covers by artists like Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris. Despite facing personal challenges, including a struggle with alcohol, Van Zandt's legacy endures, highlighted by posthumous releases and a film about his life after his unexpected death in 1997. His work continues to inspire and influence generations of musicians within the Americana and country music genres. (EBSCO)

Tune Wranglers 1936-1938 (2000)

Tune Wranglers 1936-1938 (2000) @320

One of the earliest and most entertaining Western swing groups, the Tune Wranglers specialized in both cowboy music and raucous, 1920s-style jazz and blues. Concerning the latter, they were among the greatest groups of their day, turning out exciting, swinging material that was the equal of Bob Wills in daring if not quality. The group's rowdy banter and call-and-response harmonizing are immensely entertaining, reminiscent of the Maddox Brothers & Rose and early Bill Monroe. This is especially true of the sides featuring pianist Eddie Whitley, a master of barrelhouse jazz who could turn any old song into a hard-swinging good time. All told, this is a fairly astonishing listen featuring the group's only hit, "Texas Sand," and other splendid moments such as "El Rancho Grande," "Red's Tight Like That," and the twisted novelty "Sarah Jane."

2018 - Various Artists - She's Selling What She Used To Give Away

2018 - Various Artists - She's Selling What She Used To Give Away @320

A wonderful curated selection of old-school country and bluegrass – or “Hillbilly Music,” as the cover puts it – this set shines a light into the corner of risqué music. Forget wink-and-nod, or sly allusions. This is stuff like “What are you going to do for banging when Lulu’s gone,” or Gene Autry singing “you put your hand beneath my dress / there you found a blackbird’s nest.” Elsewhere, there’s songs about doing drugs and murder. As always with Bear Family products, the remastering is good, given the rarity of the original sources. The music’s wild, and bound to raise a few eyebrows – especially from your grandparents, who insist that music was so much cleaner back in the old days. Maybe this set will stir a few memories.
