He Died 25+ Years Ago, Now His Children Confirm the Rumors 

Any Fans of his music? 🤔

There is so much that is incorrect in this video, including the pictures of “Kevin Eggers”-that’s not Kevin in the pictures they’re showing, it’s Harold Eggers, Townes’ road manager/friend of more than 20 years. Kevin Eggers wasn’t Townes’ manager, he owned both Tomato Records and Poppy Records, the labels that released the majority of Townes’ records. Take everything in this video with a grain of salt, as it was obviously done as nothing more than a way to get views.

Dude did you even try? This is embarassing.

I can’t find the words to explain how much Town’s’ music means to me

This commentary didn't even come to what the actual story is!

with all the BS comments Towns VanZant was and still a hero to me..I discovered is music later in life..I tip my hat ..

Townes Van Zandt is one of my biggest favourites ever! I am so lucky to have discovered him.

This is such a poor biopic of Townes Van Zandt.Much of it is just a cut and paste job (often inaccurate) from other,more respectable sources.I suggest you go elsewhere if you are searching for the real Townes.There is nothing original whatsoever in this ,and it simply does not live up to its title.His children did not "confirm the rumors".

I can’t bear watching this listening to this narrator oh my god who decided that was a good idea

I've met one of his granddaughters and she tells different stories. Heartwarming and heartbreaking stories, true, but this delivery is a paltry attempt to do him any justice. If you are any kind of journalist or documentarian, do some legwork and research.

This video is a disgrace to Townes' legacy. And what's with that goofy thumbnail?

Love his music 🎶 Tecumseh Valley with Nanci Griffith . No sugar coating his songs.

The War and Peace joke was brutal. There was something about Steve that bothered Townes.

I was tour manager for Townes' first solo visit to the UK (+ Holland & Dublin) in 1987. I also was tour manager for Townes' best friend Guy Clark on two UK & Ireland tours. Working alongside Townes was the most bizarre three weeks of my entire life, but I couldn't watch this video all the way through.......so much nonsense. When he was on form, he was magical, when he wasn't.........oh boy, what a nightmare!

Now we remember him. Only him. There is only him in his genre, maybe a little deputy dog

Dude you slaughtered the whole video facts,names , ....facts....its all wrong

I've always been a huge fan of Townes, like John Prine neither had the melodic voice that the public thrives to hear, but their songwriting ability is unsurpassed and will live on through the ages. When they write it's like they have a close secret personal knowledge of the makeup of my own soul. I was in Community College when the Cowboy Junkies released Black Eyed Man & when I heard their cover of Towns' "To Live Is To Fly" it blew my mind.

Hey just take this video down dude, and upload something that took a little work.

Hello from Norway! I am a fan of his music.

This is ai trying to diss. on Townes . All the internet taken over by these freaking ai voices.

Gosh, I am sorry for his pain. And his family. Mental disorder in the mid 60's and in the 70's, was disabling. It was! I lived it. I still it this day.

I can’t imagine putting this video together, reviewing it, and still deciding to upload it.

That thumbnail looks horrific. Townes im sure is rolling in his grave about this video

Giant fail with a few chances to have Vand Zandt rhyme in that intro.

Sounds like an AI plagiarism of a weak article. And "Only Him or Me."

The covers by Wino are amazing

This entire video is made by AI including the voice

Yuck.did a human even have any part in this..

If you’re completely new to Townes, finish this video and go listen to his song “Rake”.

Awesome

Janis Baby Janis !!!❤❤❤

Ain't AI *grand*?

Ya’ll should consider a different career path.

This is absolute garbage. I hope Townes’s estate sues you. 😡

Jokes reveal the

I was born and raised in Nashville, spent 32-years on the police department and never heard of this guy's name. However, I never forget a face and remember seeing him around town even though the place is filled with wannabe singers and songwriters. Listing to him sing and the words to his songs and I still don't get it. If folk music is about not being able to sing and juvenile lyrics, then I understand why I never cared for it.
