This is the first serious biography of a man widely considered one of Texas’ - and America’s - greatest songwriters. Like Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt was the embodiment of that mythic American figure, the troubled troubadour.
A Deeper Blue traces Van Zandt’s background as the scion of a prominent Texas family; his troubled early years and his transformation from promising pre-law student to wandering folk singer; his life on the road and the demons that pursued and were pursued by him; the women who loved and inspired him; and the brilliance and enduring beauty of his songs, which are explored in depth.
The author draws on eight years’ extensive research and interviews with Townes’ family and closest friends and colleagues. He looks beyond the legend and paints a colorful portrait of a complex man who embraced the darkness of demons and myth as well as the light of deep compassion and humanity, all “[F]or the sake of the song".
The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

There were parts of the author's reading that I found irritating. He chooses to distinguish the quotations in the book by narrating with an accent, but misses the mark by consistently sounding like a southerner rather than a Texan. Small annoyance yes, but it messed with my imagery to hear Townes Van Zandt portrayed sounding like a farmer from Alabama, rather than a Texas boy. Interestingly the accent improved in the later chapters of the book.
Good story, good writing, and well told. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in music, songwriting, Texas music history, and The Late Great Townes Van Zandt.
Great Story Written in a Easy to Follow Style

Unfortunately the author included way too many useless details in an effort to prolong the story.
The reader was very robotic and difficult to listen to for extended periods
A lot of useless details to fill pages

The narration was done by Peter Lerman, and was the first time that I have heard anything from him, and felt as though he did a great job with this book.

I am listening through my Amazon Dot, so i can't put it at a faster speed. Maybe that will make it better. I am hoping that I will update my review once completed with better feelings towards the book.
I love Townes, but I can't take the narrator
