In early summer the album recorded together with Steve von Till and Wino, will be released.

Ladies and Gentlemen: SCOTT KELLY, STEVE VON TILL & WINO - songs of TOWNES VAN ZANDT!

“Townes Van Zandts music has had a profound effect on me as a man and as a musician. I discovered his songs 13 years ago at the same time as I had already began following a new path for myself as musician, seeking to express myself through a more direct, stripped down acoustic approach. Townes Van Zandts music is not only brutally honest, he has an ability to paint a picture with his words that is so far beyond the reach and depth of anyone else I have heard to this day. I am honored to be a part of this record and get the opportunity to bring his music to people who are fans of what I have been doing, and I am humbled to be in the presence of my two brothers Steve Von Till and Wino." - Scott Kelly
