As a musician, Townes Van Zandt
was legendary-perhaps one of the greatest who ever
lived, inspiring artists from Bob Dylan to Norah
Jones to Steve Earle. As a man, a husband, and a
father his life was as tragic and as beautiful as
the songs he wrote. Townes was an enigma to his
family, pinned between a deep longing for home and
the nomadic lifestyle that was necessary for his
livelihood.
