Townes Van Zandt Texas Rain The Texas Hill Country Recordings Remastered Expanded Edition LP with the first 1,000 LPs on limited edition clear vinyl.

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 Zandts defining works.

This was the cream of the cream. Texas Rain is a timeless record. We really felt that wed 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

He was the best songwriter and most riveting solo performer Ive ever seen. Steve Earle
