Music: This One's For Oliver

Townes Van Zandt, a legendary singer-songwriter, died in 1997, but his impact has been huge. Steve Earle has said that Townes "is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." Well, here's some more. A friend of Townes' has unearthed his first ever recordings, from 1966, after he went to Nashville. The tracks have been cleaned up and will be released on April 22nd. Read about it here, in the otherwise lamentable Rolling Stone.
