Dylan, Hank, and Townes

       I was more than a little ambivalent/nervous about putting together a compilation of Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, and Townes Van Zandt given their vast catalogs and, more pertinently, my relative lack of expertise about all three. It's also why I didn't try to come up with a thematic approach like Dylan, Hank and Townes sing about death.  But, as someone else must have said at some point, a homage is still a homage.  I tried not to include too many standards, but I just couldn't pass up including some.  Anwyay, hope the combination of the three works for folks.  Also, I re-upped my Townes Van Zandt tribute compilations.
