I love Townes Van Zandt...

But this song is friggin' terrible. Townes' last few years on this planet were rough, and all the worst aspects of this are represented on this track. He half-heartedly mumbles over what sounds like royalty-free schlock from the backing band. How can you Townes fans rate this highly? For christ's sake, there's a cheap-sounding drum machine providing the beat! Sadly, this track probably should never have seen the light of day.

Sanitarium Blues (Cinderella Mix #13)

Holy Cow!!! Where'd this come from? I heard somewhere that Townes was "Goin' Grundge":-O in his final years and this sounds like a final recording. I LOVE this track! It just doesn't get any COOLER!

A new Townes' song on emusic is always welcome. The late, great Townes Van Zandt was the best songwriter of his era, and no one less than Steve Earle once said he would stand up in his cowboy boots on Bob Dylan's coffee table and say so. I just downloaded this gem!
