Townes Van Zandt fans?

I believe "Texas Rain" is a CD only release. Tomato Records hasn't done many new vinyl releases since the late 80's/early 90's. The CD has very good sonics and performances, so it's worth picking up.

thanks fellas for the recommendations, I've got some of thoses discs on the way. rich...thanks & seeing those marantz pieces sure brings back alot of good early 70's memories. cheers

Fat Possum records just reissued some of the eary stuff....picked up Flying Shoes & self titled today. nice

So........... Does anybody know if the new shiny 180gm Fat Possum releases stack up to the sound of the original ones? You know how reissues go some times, I need not start to make the list of lousy, jump on the band wagon reissue junk out there. If I want to fell blue, I'll fire up a Townes vinyl instead of gett'in my blues from vinyl buyers remorse. I'm interested in Flyin' Shoes and Live At The Old Quarter, Houston Texas, my old copies are a little beat. Hoping for Delta Momma Blues as well.

Happy Listening!

The best calls have already been made here. You might want to call McCabe's Guitar in Santa Monica. They sell a "TVZ Live at McCabe's" that puts a different spin on some of his songs. Not TVZ at his greatest, but good nonetheless.

BTW, you should check out the DVD of the soundtrack you already have. TVZ was a bit of a nut and his story is compelling as told in this film.
