Townes Van Zandt: Texas Rain (remastered) (180g) (Limited-Edition) auf 2 LPs

Product Information

At the turn of the 90s, Townes Van Zandt began recording a series of duets in Texas with a bunch of longtime admirers that included Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Jerry Jeff Walker, Freddy Fender and Doug Sahm. The full-band sessions sought to breathe fresh air into the lungs of some of his best-known songs. Initially given a limited release in 2001, »Texas Rain« has now been newly remastered and repackaged with a full-colour 20-page booklet, in-depth sleeve notes and revealing interview with original producer Kevin Eggers. It serves as one of Van Zandt's defining works. »This was the cream of the cream. Texas Rain is a timeless record. We really felt that we'd made a huge breakthrough in terms of our creative collaboration, the level of musicianship, the quality of the tracks and the energy we had. It was a golden time in our lives.« Kevin Eggers – Producer & Arranger – Newly restored from original masters and includes bonus Willie Nelson duet »No Place To Fall«. – Replica LP sleeve with original Milton Glaser designed artwork. – 12-inch 4-panel full-colour LP insert, 20-page fully illustrated CD booklet. – New in-depth sleeve notes by Uncut magazine's Rob Hughes plus revealing interview with original producer and arranger Kevin Eggers.
