Colorado Girl // Townes Van Zandt

*Townes Van Zandt[1] (March 7, 1944 – January 1, 1997)

His musical style has often been described as melancholy and features rich, poetic lyrics. For much of the 1970s, he lived in a simple shack without electricity or a telephone.He suffered from a series of drug addictions and alcoholism, and was given a psychiatric diagnosis of bipolar disorder. When he was young, the now-discredited insulin shock therapy erased much of his long-term memory.[Townes Van Zandt.com]

Van Zandt died on New Year's Day 1997 from cardiac arrythmia caused by health problems stemming from years of substance abuse.
