It was a release that saw Townes becoming the songwriter revered today. An album full of original material including You Are Not Needed Now, Blue Ridge Mountains and To Live Is To Fly, it opened eyes and ears to his abilities. His backing band included folks like Larry Carlton who would play on Joni Mitchell s Court & Spark, accompany Steely Dan on The Royal Scam (playing that solo we all know and love on Kid Charlemagne ), and who was a member of Jazz s elite Crusaders.High, Low And In Between is in the end a classic Townes Van Zandt album. And one that should be reexamined. This gloriously remastered edition will be available on CD, in a digipak with liner notes from award-wining scribe Colin Escott, as well as on 180 gram vinyl with the first 1,500 pressed on orange colored stock. (Future pressings will be on standard black vinyl).Now that the public s appetite has been whetted by Sunshine Boy feed it with High, Low And In Between! ## Images ![High, Low And In Between - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31CP7lPxMmL.jpg) ![High, Low And In Between - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CrDYlCbtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introduction *by E***P on February 15, 2007* I'm not a big fan of compilations and "best of" CDs; like a lot of music fans I prefer to hear entire albums in their original context. That's why this economically-priced two-fer from Townes Van Zandt is such a good introduction--it includes two entire albums from one of his most productive periods, and offers a wide variety of his music to get you interested in exploring more. Between these two albums, you can see what a talented songwriter, understatedly excellent vocalist, and all-around worthwhile musical personality he was. Not only that, you'll have over an hour of great country-tinged folk to listen to.The first album included is High, Low, and In Between. It's probably the lesser of the two choices, but still very worthwhile. Van Zandt is usually accompanied by some subtle acoustic guitar, often combined with some bass, or even bigger band arrangements. He certainly has a skill for melancholy--songs like "You are Not Needed Now" and the title track really get under your skin with simple melodies and some occasionally chilling lyrics. He does include a few upbeat numbers, though, like the great and humorous "No Deal," and the groovy "Standin.'" There are a few weaker tracks, most notably the gospel tunes "Two Hands" and "When He Offers His Hand;" they lack the personality that Van Zandt is so capable of injecting into a great song. Overall, though, there are some great highlights.The second album is even better. The Late Great Townes Van Zandt opens with "No Lonesome Tune," a very homey, heartwarming tune combined with some really cool music--the heavy bass sounds great combined with the mandolin. The singer sounds totally at ease in the relaxed "German Mustard" blues, and rips out some of his most harrowing compositions, the mysterious "Ships of Andilar," and the oft-covered "Pancho and Lefty." On both discs, he shows great skill at storytelling, and it's too bad every other country singer had a hit with "Pancho and Lefty," but its own composer couldn't. This album really shows off his deft skill at mystery, since more often the music matches his deceptively dense words. Again, though, there are also fun moments like the cover, "Honky Tonkin.'" Also again, though, there are a few weaker moments--"Sad Cinderella" sounds like a textbook paraphrased rewrite of Dylan's "Queen Jane Approximately," and "Heavenly Houseboat Blues" isn't quite a compelling closer.All in all, though, Townes Van Zandt has made some great music, and deserves to be much better known. This disc is a steal, containing two solid albums' worth of music, with some music that's good, and some that's GREAT. If you're unfamiliar with TVZ, I recommend that this is as good a place as any to get into some great music! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To Live is To Fly! *by S***L on January 21, 2017* Townes Van Zandt is a Blue Ridge singer and his recording, "To Live is To Fly," was used in the 2009 TCM (Turner Classic Movies) Remembers annual memoriam. This song is unique and memorable as well. There are other songs on this CD about life in Tennessee, Blue Ridge Mountains, God and other topics as well.I enjoyed Townes Van Zandt's music and songs about life. I don't know much about Townes Van Zandt other than listening to his music. The CD is enjoyable to listen too in the car. It can be inspiring and uplifting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy Music from the Prince of Melancountry *by D***R on January 9, 2002* This CD is a bargain, with two albums' worth of fantastic songs.It also remains, after having collected essentially all of Van Zandt's studio recordings, one of my favorites. For one thing, it contains a lot of happy songs ("No Lonesome Tune", "Greensboro Woman" and "No Deal", for starters) -- distinctively, as Van Zandt is famous for the lovely loneliness of his writing.The CD also includes several gospel numbers (a subset of the happy songs): "Two Hands", "When He Offers His Hand" and "Heavenly Houseboat Blues".The CD also has several covers. Though Van Zandt didn't eschew covers like certain other famous songwriters do, this CD has four, where most of his studio albums have none or one.So the net result is that this CD, while feeling completely Van Zandt-ish, has a very upbeat, light, folky feel to it.And of course, "If I Needed You" and "Pancho and Lefty" are on it.Buy the album. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2540438-high-low-and-in-between](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2540438-high-low-and-in-between) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
