I always thought Townes was very appreciated. I know he was regarded as a songwriter's songwriter. His passig was unfortunate but his life style was his worst enemy and likely prevented him from having a huge financial success.I'm looking forward to hearing the new project but a bit skeptical when someone reworks some one elses material. My favorite Townes material is what is captured "live" and not over produced with studio intrusions.I know what you mean Reslems, It seems an artist has to be deceased before they get the recognition they deserve. Townes had a lot of respect and his music will always remind us of his genius writings.
