Song of The Day :: TOWNES VAN ZANDT - Dead Flowers (Stones cover)



Dead Flowers - Townes Van Zandt



There is something almost unbearably funny about an American covering the Stones’ ‘Dead Flowers’ as it itself is a gentle piss take of the genre of Merkin country songs anyway! Having one of their own, known for his songwriting skills, the genius Van Zandt cover it totally straight faced is a stroke of genius and made me LOL!


Thanks as so often to Alice over at Reds1981 (O My Soul)
