Book Reviews of To Live's to Fly: The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt
Book Review: Worthwhile for Townes Fans
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a worthwhile read for Townes fans although it won't leave you in the sunshine. The writing is very erratic, almost like each chapter is a magazine article with little connection. Even in chapters the subject changes abruptly with little or no transition.
Summary of To Live's to Fly: The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt
At last, the authorized biography of Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997), who wrote such unforgettable songs as "Pancho & Lefty" and "If I Needed You." Born to a wealthy oil family in Ft. Worth, Texas, hounded by alcoholism and depression, Van Zandt pursued a nomadic existence following his muse, whatever the cost to himself, friends, and relatives.Based on exclusive interviews with those close to Van Zandt, including his best friend Guy Clark and colleagues like Steve Earle and John Prine, To Live's to Fly captures all the humor, hijinks, poetry, and heartbreak of this revered, genuinely outlaw country artist.
