Kenan Flannery joins me as we about Townes Van Zandt, the lengendary American singer-songwriter. He wrote the songs "Pancho and Lefty", "Waitin' Round to Die", and "To Live Is to Fly", which are widely considered masterpieces of American songwriting. 

From a wealthy background, Townes fell into a life of drifting and addictions, with 5 a.m games of Russian Roulette and drunken performances but went on to inspire and influence hundreds of musicians including Steve Earle and EmmyLou Harris.

Kenan Flannery is a Dublin based singer-songwriter who also hosts the Art Saddle with me!
