Wide Open Country offers five stories that capture who Townes Van Zandt was:
Born March 7, 1944, in Fort Worth, Texas, singer-songwriter John Townes Van Zandt is the perfect example of an artist whose legend only grows with time. For many, Van Zandt was a walking paradox.
Somehow the greatest country songwriter to live is still not a household name among country fans like Willie Nelson or Merle Haggard. A well-to-do kid born into comfort who lived his adult life in relative simplicity and poverty. An extremely intelligent man who somehow fell victim to the oldest trick in the book - addiction.
