Rob appearing on Townes Van Zandt tribute album

I'm chuffed to bits to announce that a cover of Townes Van Zandt's "Two Girls" I recorded a few months ago appears on an upcoming tribute album.

"The music of Townes Van Zandt is provocative, melancholy, soulful and soul-searching. It aches, it tells stories. Townes wore his heart on his sleeve. His songs - and the effect he had on people - gave him a disparate band of followers around the world.

This compilation has been carefully created by fans and admirers of Townes Van Zandt. 99p from every sale goes to benefit the QE2 Activity Centre and all of the artists involved have contributed their track for free. Phil Oates from the Centre and singer songwriter Michael Weston King masterminded the project and invited the artists to contribute, the result is breathtaking and there's even a very rare Townes' tune – written by Michael too."
