Deeper Blue The Life and Music of Townes Van Zandt
Author(s): Hardy Robert Earl
Like Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt was the embodiment of that mythic American figure, the troubled troubadour. "A Deeper Blue" traces Van Zandt background as the scion of a prominent Texas family; his troubled early years and his transformation from promising pre-law student to wandering folk singer; his life on the road and the demons that pursued and were pursued by him; the women who loved and inspired him; and, the brilliance and enduring beauty of his songs.
