Van Zandt, Townes
A Far Cry From Dead
For the first time ever, Townes Van Zandt's Grammy-nominated posthumous 1999 release A Far Cry From Dead will see a
vinyl release. Van Zandt recorded the vocal and guitar takes for the album from the late 80s through the early 90s at
Texhoma Music Group Studio, the late singer's next door neighbor's home studio in Nashville, and Jack Clement's Cowboy
Arms Hotel and Recording Spa. Townes left the tapes to his widow, Jeanene Van Zandt, who worked with producer Eric Paul
to bring the songs to life with a full band including guitarist Richard Bennet (Mark Knopfler, Billy Joel, Steve Earle,
Rodney Crowell), percussionist Kenny Malone (Ray Charles, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, etc.), and Charlie
McCoy (Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings) among others.
