Description:
Recorded over the course of five hot Texan nights in July 1973, this classic live album captures the legendary singer/songwriter at his career peak. Townes Van Zandt performs the best of his early songs for an appreciative audience in the intimate surroundings of `The Old Quarter` in his home state. The songs are interspersed with his inimitable song introductions, jokes and general banter with the audience. Such low-key appearances always brought out the best in Van Zandt and this marvellous 26-song collection remains as one of his most accessible albums in terms of introducing listeners to his work.
