Abstract

"For the Sake of the Song: Essays on Townes Van Zandt" is a collection of essays edited by Anne Norton Holbrook and Dan Bellar-McKenna that explores the life and work of the late singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. The book covers a wide range of topics, including Van Zandt's recorded legacy, his influences, the role of gender in his compositions, and the musical and production aspects of his music. The collection also delves into Van Zandt's mental illness and includes episodes from Richard Dobson's memoir that offer insights into touring with Van Zandt. Overall, "For the Sake of the Song" provides a valuable addition to the existing body of Van Zandt commentaries. [Extracted from the article]
