In 2012 the label My
Proud Mountain was established specifically to pay tribute
to Townes Van Zandt. The first release, Songs of Townes
Van Zandt featured Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till from Neurosis,
as well as Scott 'Wino" Weinrich from Saint Vitus, The Obsessed and more,
each taking on the troubadour's music.

We reveal a stream of the album's closing rendition of
"If I Needed You", as performed by John Baizley and Katie Jones, who
both provide a mixture of heartfelt vocals to an acoustic backdrop in their
remake of this beautiful yet gloomy classic.
