His haunting verity made him more than what some considered Americana's own Nick Drake -- Van Zandt was a poet with a burning soul. Although he never had a radio hit, many other country music artists found success with songs "Pancho and Lefty" and "If I Needed You." Though he occasionally delved into more upbeat, light-hearted, bluesy numbers, he is best known for lamenting, wind-swept, road-written songs. Van Zandt had a way of making painfully honest lyrics stick to naturally birthed melodies that attached themselves to the heart of any listener with an ounce of humanity. - Eric SheaAmericanaen720Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:04:41 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43978&rws=%2Ftownes-van-zandt%2Ftop-tracks.rss Whoever dubbed George Jones "King of the Broken Hearts" never heard Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997).
