 ████    The embodiment of the tragic troubadour, Townes Van Zandt's        ████
 ████    prolific and sublime output reached what some would deem its apex  ████
 ████    with the release of two 1972 albums: High, Low and in Between and  ████
 ████    The Late Great Townes Van Zandt. Van Zandt's lonesome folk-blues   ████
 ████    songs were at their most passionate, desperate, and visceral at    ████
 ████    this point, and his painful path continued to escalate in          ████
 ████    difficulty as his masterworks were less than commercial successes  ████
 ████    and his heroin habit drained his spirit heavily. As time went on,  ████
 ████    the strength of his writing, especially in this prolific period,   ████
 ████    would elevate Van Zandt to levels of almost mythical American      ████
 ████    legend status, and his songs would be covered by bigger names in   ████
 ████    country and folk. Sunshine Boy collects rough studio mixes,        ████
 ████    alternate takes, and demo recordings from this golden 1971-1972    ████
 ████    period, all previously unreleased. The 28 tracks here offer an     ████
 ████    especially intimate window on the artist, with spare demos and     ████
 ████    stripped-down studio mixes spotlighting Van Zandt's weathered      ████
 ████    vocals and straightforward, often heartbreaking storytelling       ████
 ████    lyrics. The studio half of the collection features languid blues   ████
 ████    covers ("Who Do You Love"), bluegrass romps ("Blue Ridge           ████
 ████    Mountains"), and country-fried western rockers ("Two Hands," "Mr.  ████
 ████    Mudd & Mr. Gold"). An early alternate mix of Van Zandt's biggest   ████
 ████    single, "Pancho & Lefty," is heard here without its mariachi       ████
 ████    horns or string arrangements. Without these elements to date it,   ████
 ████    the crushingly sad ballad takes on a timeless feel, more direct    ████
 ████    than any era of singer/songwriter sounds it may have been created  ████
 ████    in. The 12 off-hand demos included here are what truly offer an    ████
 ████    intimate portrait of the singer in his prime. Van Zandt sounds     ████
 ████    especially candid, accompanied mostly by his own guitar and        ████
 ████    singing softly to himself between takes. Tracks like "Heavenly     ████
 ████    Houseboat Blues," the traditional "Old Paint," and a very          ████
 ████    laid-back take on the Stones' "Dead Flowers," are all as           ████
 ████    disarming as they are enjoyable. The loose approach of these       ████
 ████    demos doesn't take away at all from their power. The space and     ████
 ████    simplicity just allow more room for Van Zandt's unique character   ████
 ████    to come through. Though all of the songs on Sunshine Boy found     ████
 ████    their way to official albums in more fleshed-out versions, these   ████
 ████    uncluttered takes offer a beautifully bare look at a young artist  ████
 ████    whose combination of astonishing gifts and troubled life would     ████
 ████    eventually make him an American folk hero.                         ████
