Artiste magnifique et exceptionnel ! Par exemple, ce disque, splendide, une merveille de m\u00e9lancolie, de beaut\u00e9, de pathos sans mi\u00e8vrerie. Et pourtant \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9coute de cet album en public, on y entend un Townes Van Zandt qui semble heureux d\u2019\u00eatre sur sc\u00e8ne, de partager avec le public, et avec ses musiciens (Pour une fois, il n\u2019est pas seul \u00e0 la guitare, il est accompagn\u00e9 par un autre<\/p>\n

\"townes\"<\/p>\n

guitariste et un flutiste\/saxophoniste). Et \u00e7a donne un disque tout en douceur, comme toujours avec Townes, tout en d\u00e9licatesse, avec une simplicit\u00e9 si \u00e9vidente. Magnifique, vraiment magnifique. Et l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation de quelques un de ces standards (Pancho and Lefty – Waitin Round To Die – Loretta – et la quasi totalit\u00e9 des titres de ce disque) magnifi\u00e9e par l\u2019\u00e9motion en direct\u00a0! J\u2019ai d\u00e9couvert cet artiste totalement par hasard. Et depuis, il ne me quitte plus, il m\u2019accompagne tr\u00e8s souvent. Je sais d\u2019ailleurs pour l\u2019avoir fait connaitre \u00e0 quelques amis sur des forums que la d\u00e9couverte de Townes Van Zandt a \u00e9t\u00e9 pour eux un choc \u00e9motionnel et musical\u00a0! Bref, je ne peux que vous recommander chaudement de faire l\u2019effort d\u2019\u00e9couter. Vous n\u2019en reviendrez pas\u00a0!<\/p>\n

(trouv\u00e9 ce vinyle sur Priceminister – une \u00e9dition originale – album sorti en 1987 – enregistr\u00e9 \u00e0 Nashville en 1985).<\/p>\n

Le titre ci-dessus est une des plus belle chanson de Townes Van Zandt. Elle illustre bien ce qui fait la sensibilit\u00e9 de cet artiste.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I don’t know where this dirty road is taking me
\nSometimes I can’t even see the reason why
\nI guess I keep on gamblin’, lots of booze and lots of ramblin’
\nIt’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die<\/p>\n

One-time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
\nHe beat her with a belt once ’cause she cried
\nShe told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee
\nIt’s easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die<\/p>\n

I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
\nShe cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
\nI tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
\nSeemed easier than just a-waitin’ ’round to die<\/p>\n

A friend said he knew where some easy money was
\nWe robbed a man and brother, did we fly
\nThe posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
\nIt’s two long years, just a-waitin’ ’round to die<\/p>\n

Now I’m out of prison, I got me a friend at last
\nHe don’t steal or cheat or drink or lie
\nHis name’s Codeine, he’s the nicest thing I’ve seen
\nTogether we’re gonna wait around and die<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
