Van Zandt, Townes
Live At The Tavastia, Helsinki, June 18th 1993
This show at the Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland, recorded on June 18th 1993 was his first visit to the country. Stripped back, it features just the voice and guitar of TVZ, a voice that whilst still full of conviction, appears somewhat more fragile than on the previous recordings. Described by Billboard magazine as "largely-obscure-if-legendary," Townes Van Zandt was a remarkable singer/songwriter, and this release is worthy of consideration, shining, as it does, more bright rays of light on a much-missed songsmith.
