A small thank-you to Norah Jones, and a huge one to Townes
Earl B | Auckland New Zealand | 08/05/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I've got most of Townes' stuff, but had never heard 'Be Here to Love Me' until I heard it on the recent Norah Jones 'Feels Like Home' CD ... which is actually pretty damn good itself.

Which has naturally made me track down Townes' original version.

I was lucky enough to see Townes twice, a couple of years apart I think, at small concert venues all the way down here in New Zealand, and his effect on the audience in the quieter passages was such that you could have heard a pin drop. Funnily enough, I remember chatting to one of the concert promoters a while after the second show, and asking him if they had plans to get Townes back... he smiled, shook his head and said 'he was just too much hard work'."
