Live at the Old Quarter, Townes Van Zandt. Townes at the height of power, and before the years took too much of a toll, a live album including just the perfect amount of chatter and ambience to give an impression of what the night was like, the goofy dad-humor blending into some of the best American songs ever written. I won't argue that he was better than Dylan, but I prefer him, and with a slightly different lyrical style he was absolutely worthy to be mentioned in the same breath.
I don't know this specific recording but I love his music since I first heard it in The Big Lebowski. I learned to play Dead Flowers too. Will give this a listen, cheers
I actually enjoy his buddy Guy Clark a little more, and respect him very nearly as much, but Guy is just a little more country and didn't have quite that same level of soul-deep hurt that you need to really cross genres as a "beautiful loser" icon.
