Customer Reviews Townes Van Zandt doing his favorite cover songs This album doesn't even have one of his songs on it and it's still one of my favorite TVZ albums. Townes Van Zandt is one of the greatest songwriters to come out of Texas. Strange, but true. Here are some of the artists he covers on Roadsongs: Mick Jagger/Keith Richards, Lightnin' Hopkins, Joe Ely, Bruce Springsteen, A. P. Carter, Bob Dylan and others. This is a great album and as the name suggests great driving music. For those who care. The version of Dead Flowers that Townes covers on this album also shows up on The Big Lebowski soundtrack as well as the movie (It's the song that plays after The Dude and Walter scatter Donnie's ashes). Moving Beautiful, wistful, touching. Hit the open backroads out West, and put this on the CD player or tape deck. One Of The Best Recordings Ever It takes you on a musical trip of time and space. I first heard this CD at a friend's house, and it consumed me with wonder. Covers of these classics have never been done better. I highly recommend this CD. .
