Townes Van Zandt (Greatest Songwriters)

Actually it's probably a three-way tie between Dylan , Leo Cohen , and Townes , but just for the omission I'm gonna talk him up...
Surely you've heard of him...if not you should find him now...try "Rake & Young Man" , "Highway Kind" , or "Marie" (to name but a scant few)...his phrase turns and melodies are really addictive...not to mention he just wrote extraordinary tunes...seriously, stop what you're doing and find out who this man was...I guarantee it'll pay dividends.
