More Townes Van Zandt: The Great Unknown

  • November 29, 2010

In October 2009, a UK based indie music project revolving around the work of American country-folk music singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt was released, Introducing Townes Van Zandt via The Great Unknown. Almost exactly a year later listeners are treated to another round of covers on More Townes Van Zandt by The Great Unknown with another exceptional host of musicians including: Amy Annelle; alt country pop rockers Band of Annuals; California guitarist Neal Casal (Ryan Adams and the Cardinals); Canadian alt-country band The Deep Dark Woods; psych folk singer/songwriter Alela Diane; Vikta Fåglar; Hero Horns – the solo project of Dane Johannes Nidam; The Highway Kind; L.A. folk-country Leslie and the Badgers; Luluc; New Found Land; The New Man; Brooklyn based indie folk/alt country Phosphorescent; one man band Phillip Roebuck; Gourds spin-off Shinyribs; Vancouver, B.C. quartet The Sumner Brothers; unsigned Londoners Treetop Flyers; and New Zealand’s The Unfaithful Ways. More Townes Van Zandt continues the tribute to the profoundly talented musician, making a great case for the relevance of his work today. – Written by JFelton
