{"product_id":"townes-van-zandt-s-t-lp","title":"Townes Van Zandt - s\/t LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eTownes Van Zandt's third recording is an early guitar-and-voice singer-songwriter classic laden with memorable originals. Start with \"For the Sake of the Song,\" an oft-recorded classic here enlivened by tasteful percussion. Move on to a couple of Van Zandt's gritty, death's door laments – \"Waiting Around to Die\" (where the ex-con protagonist finds a friend in codeine) and a miner's sad tale, \"Lungs.\" \"Colorado Girl\" is another in a career-long series of paeans to Colorado, where Van Zandt went to college. \"I'll Be Here in the Morning\" is a tender love song, while the Dylanesque \"Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel\" is almost playful. Like most Van Zandt albums, this one has the obligatory buried-but-beautiful small masterpiece, in this case the undeniably gorgeous \"(Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria.\" The closer is another oft-covered piece of scrimshawed tunesmithery, \"None but the Rain.\" This 1969 effort is the first of several essential Van Zandt albums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fat Possum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53409516781865,"sku":"FP1083","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1427\/6532\/files\/townes-van-zandt-s-t-lp.jpg?v=1785984291","url":"https:\/\/www.strandedrecords.com\/products\/townes-van-zandt-s-t-lp","provider":"Stranded Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
