The Lemonheads prepare Townesville, a twelve-song Townes Van Zandt tribute

The Lemonheads will release Townesville through Fire Records on January 22, 2027. The label announced the project on November 9 as a full studio album devoted entirely to Townes Van Zandt’s songs. Recording took place in Nashville. Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel is one of the available tracks, running five minutes and sixteen seconds in its official version.

The twelve-song programme includes No Place To Fall, Loretta, Tower Song and To Live Is To Fly. Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers contributes to Pancho and Lefty. Other guests include Almir Sater, Beatriz Sater and the songwriter’s daughter Katie Belle Van Zandt. Evan Dando and producer Antonia Teixeira curated the project.

US concerts follow the January release. The official itinerary begins February 4 at Jergels near Pittsburgh and includes Boston, Brooklyn, Austin, Los Angeles and Seattle. Spotify currently presents a prerelease album: Rake and Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel are available, while other positions remain locked. The embedded player preserves that distinction rather than presenting the entire forthcoming record as already released.
