  • Bio

    We will forgive you for thinking we are stupid – as a rule compilation/tribute albums are dull & pointless. To make matters worse, they are sometimes followed by a “Volume-2-type-thing” and that’s when you wonder: Why? What’s the need for this?? .... Please let us introduce our Volume-2-type-thing: ‘More Townes Van Zandt By The Great Unknown’ .... How could we resist doing another compilation when the well of stunning TVZ songs is deeper than the middle of the sea?! We also had a bunch of exceptional artists wanting to do a Townes song, who did not fit on the first album. Artists such as Phosphorescent, Neal Casal (Ryan Adams & The Cardinals), Alela Diane, Shinyribs (The Gourds), The Deep Dark Woods, Treetop Flyers and more, all featured on this new album. These 18 songs are all brand new & unheard, recorded specially for this comp. .... ‘Introducing Townes Van Zandt Via The Great Unknown’ received endless praise from both press and fans and was branded: .... “that rare beast, a tribute album without a weak track” (ROCK N REEL) .. “a vibrant portrait of contemporary folk…the proper tribute Earle's wasn't” (EXCLAIM!) .. “an important project and a fascinating album” (AMERICANA UK) .... ‘More Townes Van Zandt By The Great Unknown’ is out Oct 25th 2010 on Forthesakeofthesong. ....
