- Pages: 252
â€œOther people locked themselves away and hid from their demons. Townes flung open his door and said, 'Come on in.'â€ So writes Harold Eggers, Townes Van Zandt's longtime road manager and producer, in My Years with Townes Van Zandt: Music, Genius, and Rage â€“ a gripping memoir revealing the inner core of an enigmatic troubadour, whose deeply poetic music was a source of inspiration and healing for millions but was for himself a torment struggling for dominance among myriad personal demons.

Townes Van Zandt often stated that his main musical mission was to â€œwrite the perfect song that would save someone's life.â€ However, his life was a work in progress he was constantly struggling to shape and comprehend. Eggers says of his close friend and business partner that â€œlike the master song craftsman he was, he was never truly satisfied with the final product but always kept giving it one more shot, one extra tweak, one last effort.â€

A vivid, firsthand account exploring the source of the singer's prodigious talent, widespread influence, and relentless path toward self-destruction, My Years with Townes Van Zandt presents the truth of that all-consuming artistic journey told by a close friend watching it unfold.
