Steve has just released a new record which is all covers of Townes Van Zandt. Townes is his hero. He said he recorded these songs the way he remembered hearing Townes play them live. There's not much for me to say about the songs as everybody already knows they're great. Steve played about 55 minutes, all songs from the new record called Townes, except for 3 of his own: Taneytown, Rich Man's War & Copperhead Road. I must say, Copperhead Road live, standing about 4 feet away from him, was pretty cool. I did get a video of it:

He was his usual salty, funny in a serious way self. He is preaching for us to get out of Afghanistan these days as he thinks we can't win there. Said they kicked Alexander the Great's ass so we got big problems! He's probably right.
