En dépit d'un grand succès critique et de l'admiration que lui portèrent les milieux musicaux country et folk, son succès public fut limité, notamment en raison de son style vocal inhabituel et de ses troubles du comportement.

(fr) タウンズ・ヴァン・ザント Towns Van Zandtとして知られるジョン・タウンズ・ヴァン・ザント(John Townes Van Zandt、1944年3月7日 – 1997年1月1日)はアメリカのシンガー・ソングライター。「パンチョと左きき」、"For the Sake of the Song"、"Tecumseh Valley"、"Rex's Blues"、"To Live Is to Fly"と言った数多の曲を書き、これらは広くアメリカのソングライティングの名作とみなされている。ヴァン・ザントの音楽スタイルはしばし憂鬱で、豊かで詩的な歌詞で特徴づけられると解説されている。若いころにはギター演奏とフィンガーピッキングのテクニックで尊敬を集めていた。 1983年にエミルー・ハリスによって世間に知られるようになった6年後、ウィリー・ネルソンとマール・ハガードによる「パンチョと左きき」のカバーはビルボード・カントリー・チャートの1位となった。ヴァン・ザントの生活のほとんどは様々な大衆酒場へのツアーであり、しばしば安モーテルの部屋や、僻地の小屋で暮らしていた。1970年代のほとんどの間、電気も電話もない簡素な小屋に住んでいた。 (ja) John Townes Van Zandt, allmänt känd som Townes Van Zandt, född 7 mars 1944 i Fort Worth, Texas, död 1 januari 1997 i Smyrna, Tennessee, var en amerikansk sångare och låtskrivare inom folk- och countrymusik. Townes Van Zandt var gift tre gånger och fick tre barn, ett i första äktenskapet (John Townes "J.T." Van Zandt II) och två i tredje äktenskapet. Van Zandt avled i hjärtarytmi till följd av långvarigt alkohol- och drogmissbruk. (sv) Таунс Ван Зандт (англ. John Townes Van Zandt, 7 марта 1944 года — 1 января 1997 года) — американский автор-исполнитель кантри и фолка. Как исполнитель Ван Зандт имел ограниченный успех — он никогда не попадал в чарты Billboard, издавался на маленьких лейблах и выступал в скромных клубах и кофейнях под аккомпанемент собственной гитары. На протяжении карьеры его сопровождали также личные проблемы — артист боролся с депрессией, алкогольной и наркотической зависимостью. Вместе с тем, он был широко признан как один из лучших кантри- и фолк-исполнителей поколения. Продолжая традиции странствующих музыкантов вроде Вуди Гатри и Рамблин Джека Эллиота, он вёл кочевой образ жизни, но имел статус культовой фигуры и непререкаемого авторитета среди остальных авторов песен.
