Yes, Van Zandt pickups are excellent for blues....or rock, or country, or jazz, or Peruvian Psychedelic Funk! In other words, a good pickup is a good pickup and suitable for many types of music. As an old blues fart who happens to be a certified pickup junkie, I've sampled many pickups....from small batch, hand wound boutique beaut's, to mass produced, off shore cheapies to everything in between.
I've tried every Van Zandt pickup and love 'em all. Their strat pickups are wonderful. They excel at juicy, bluesy tones and create a nice balance between clean and overdriven tones and are very responsive to picking dynamics. The VZ tele pickups are awesome. They don't get much press, but the majority of players who try them, stick with them.
Now to the Trubuckers.......in a word, Awesome...awesome.....AWESOME! Right there with Lollar, Wolfetone, Sheptone, Manlius, WCR, et al. I have a set in a custom built semi hollow and they just kill. So yes, in my opinion Van Zandt pickups are excellent for the blues!

What is the meaning of Lungs by Townes Van Zandt?
According to mr. van Zandt himself, in a live recording in Carrboro, NC (US), from 1977, he very briefly states that it is about a man who tries to quit smoking but can't. However, there are rumours that he wrote it while sick with pneumonia, another rumour has it that it's about a coal miner (which fits well with the theme of gold later in the song).Personally, I think it's one of the songs affected by van Zandt's infamous lyrical ambiguity, which provokes me to make of it what I can - much like the rest of life, eh?
