From The Columbus Dispatch.

After all, an Earle quote that he now regrets — “Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I’ll stand on Bob Dylan’s coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that” — is one reason why the adjective legendary clings to Van Zandt.

Why the hell’s he regret it? It’s one of my favorite quotes.

Just got the album, by the way. And it’s fucking great.
