Harold F. Eggers Bücher

"As Townes Van Zandt's longtime road manager and producer, Harold Eggers Jr. had a rare perspective on the enigmatic troubadour, whose deeply poetic music was a source of inspiration and healing for millions but was for himself a torment struggling for dominance among myriad personal demons. Van Zandt often stated that his main musical mission was to 'write the perfect song that would save someone's life.' However, his life was a work in progress that he constantly strugged to shape and comprehend. As Eggers says of his close friend and business partner, 'Like the master song craftsman he was, he was never truly satisfied with the final product but always kept giving it one more shot, one extra tweak, one last effort.' A vivid, firsthand account exploring the source of the singer's prodigious talent, widespread influence, and relentless path toward self-destruction, My Years with Townes Van Zandt presents the truth of that all-consuming artistic journey told by a close friend watching it unfold."--Page [4] of cover
