Earle actually released a Townes Van Zandt cover album this year, called “Townes”. It’s excellent. Van Zandt was one of the finest songwriters ever, and IMHO was instrumental in the formation of alternative country, a miraculous respite form the awful garbage nu-country that plagues the airwaves. Notice how Letterman pauses the introduction to give tribute to Townes. Very cool, and an outstanding performance by Earle. Enjoy below in HD:

Nice! I love Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle. Townes’ music is the perfect sound track for driving the mountain roads.

I agree. Townes sounds great in the outdoors for some reason. I’m especially fond of “Our Mother the Mountain” and “Townes Van Zandt”.
