The album features classics like the haunting &#8220;Waitin&#8217; Around to Die,&#8221; the introspective &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be There in the Morning,&#8221; and the evocative title track \u2014 early proof of Van Zandt\u2019s gift for turning deep emotion into timeless melody. A talent that would earn him a devoted following and critical acclaim.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by renowned Jack Clement, known for his work with artists like Charley Pride and Chet Atkins, and engineered by Jim Malloy at Bradley&#8217;s Barn in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, the album marked a bold shift in Van Zandt\u2019s sound. With added layers like organ and harpsichord, Clement gave the record a lush, full production \u2014 a sharp contrast to Townes\u2019 raw acoustic style. Controversial at the time, this ambitious approach is now seen as a defining element of his classic debut.<\/p>\n<p>The iconic cover, designed by Milton Glaser (famous for the 1967 Bob Dylan poster and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test), is beautifully revived in this reissue with a deluxe high-gloss laminate finish that enhances every detail of the original artwork.<\/p>\n<p>This reissue not only celebrates the enduring legacy of Townes Van Zandt but also offers fans and new listeners alike the opportunity to experience his debut album as it was meant to be heard. The combination of analogue remastering, vintage label replication, and unique vinyl colouring makes this edition a must-have for collectors and music enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>SIDE A<\/p>\n<p>For The Sake Of The Song<br \/>\nTecumseh Valley<br \/>\nMany A Fine Lady<br \/>\nQuicksilver Daydreams Of Maria<br \/>\nWaitin&#8217; Around To Die<\/p>\n<p>SIDE B<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll Be Here In The Morning<br \/>\nSad Cinderella<br \/>\nThe Velvet Voices<br \/>\nAll Your Young Servants<br \/>\nTalkin\u2019 Karate Blues<br \/>\nSixteen Summers, Fifteen Falls<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":84254,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[128,125,107],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-84317","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-country-country-rock-bluegrass-en","7":"product_cat-folk-folk-rock-acoustic-en","8":"product_cat-new","9":"pa_formaatti-lp-en","10":"pa_kaytetty-uusi-new","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/84317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=84317"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=84317"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=84317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
