Music reviews of Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas
Music Review: Haunting
Rating: 5 Stars
We sift through piles of rocks to find a diamond, this my friend, is what we are looking. This makes it easier.
Townes' body of work will be a timeless treasure, comparable to any form of art through the ages. This is the apex of his work. We get to go back in time and sit in The Old Quarter and not just hear but feel Townes. Here he personifies purity, here he shows us how it can be, here he shows us what cool really is. We all got holes to fill, This record fills a big one.
Description of Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas
Culled from Van Zandt's Years of Independently Released Country-folk Records, the Austere Collection of Songs Here Serves, in Effect, as a Greatest-hits Package, Albeit with Glitches, Errant Noises, Goofy Jokes and Witty Anecdotes. Van Zandt's Dry, Narrative Wit was the Source of Influence for Such Singer-songwriters as Lyle Lovett, but One Would Be Hard-pressed to Find a More Simple, Prettier Love Song Than "if I Needed You" (A Hit for Emmylou Harris) Or a More Riveting Ballad Than "Kathleen", Both Sung with Focused Precision. The Old Quarter Falls as Silent as a Church. "Brand New Companion" Shows off Van Zandt's Blues-picking Expertise. "Talking Thunderbird Blues" Demonstrates his Wit. One of his Best Creations, "For the Sake of the Song", Shows off his Poetic Strength. This is the Place to Start If You Are Just Entering the Parched, Spare Domain of Townes Van Zandt. By Album's End, You Will Be Thirsty for More.General CDs
