| Michael Weston King performs his song "Riding The Range" in honour of the late great Townes Van Zandt. |
Writes Michael...
This years Townes Van Zandt International Festival was cancelled for the obvious reason but organiser Andrea Parodi has been asking previous performers to film a Townes song so as to bring the festival online. Some really fine interpretations have been posted over the past few weeks. Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Steve Forbert, James McMurtry, Malcolm Holcombe, Gurf Morlix, Andrew Hardin, Andrea himself and many more from Europe and the US. If you dig Townes, check them out. Andrea asked if I’d play my song “Riding The Range” and tell the story behind it and how it came about that Townes sang on it and then later cut his own version. So, here It is, just after Jono Mansons fine reading of one of my favourite yet more obscure TVZ songs, ‘Harms Swifts Way’. Enjoy. M x
