The Lemonheads’ Townesville is devoted entirely to songs by Texas songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Recorded in Nashville, it puts Evan Dando’s vocals alongside contributions from family, friends and fellow musicians.
Van Zandt’s daughter Katie Belle plays spoons, while Almir Sater adds viola caipira, the Brazilian stringed instrument central to his work. Dando duets with his stepdaughter Beatriz Sater, and Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes lends his voice to ‘Pancho and Lefty’. Nashville band Paperview contribute harmonies to this shared reading of Van Zandt’s songs.
