Oh God yeah, I don't have much by him but he's the biz alright.
See, I'm out of touch with this. Have you heard his latest album (2012) - 100 Dollar Valentine?

Nope, I'm a bit out of touch myself these days.

I was only listenIng to Townes earlier, top songsmith....strangely I find that, much like Hank Williams, I invariably prefer cover versions of his songs... Lyle Lovett covering Lungs is excellent....
Brass Bands are all very well in their place -

the way he could silence a lively crowd with his spare delivery is testament to the power of the songs and I think leaves space for excellent covers too.

Speaking of covers....

Lovely album and made me realise how much Dusty Springfield I had ingested unknowingly!!
