"If I Needed You" by Townes Van Zandt (cover by Dennis Anthonis).
Townes Van Zandt suffered from a series of drug addictions, including alcoholism. He was given a psychiatric diagnosis of bipolar disorder at an early age. He underwent the now-discredited insulin shock therapy which erased much of his long-term memory.
Much of Van Zandt's life was spent touring various dive bars, often living in cheap hotel rooms and backwood cabins. For much of the 1970s, he lived in a simple shack without electricity or a phone. He chose to live this way in order to pursue his music. Interestingly, his family was very wealthy. He left it all.
His influence has been cited by countless artists across multiple genres. His music has been recorded or performed by Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris, Counting Crows, Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith, Guy Clark, and many more. His musical style has been described as melancholy and features rich poetic lyrics.
Van Zandt died on New Year's Day 1997 from cardiac arrhythmia caused by health problems stemming from years of substance abuse. He was only 52.
