Heartworn Highways

VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram vinyl! Housed in a gatefold sleeve. The 20 tracks recorded in 1975/1976 on Heartworn Highways are your invitation to listening in as these troubadours pour earnest confessions through strings and voice. In particular, Guy Clark's naked performances dominate the collection, his plaintive heartache searing through "LA Freeway" and "Desperadoes Waiting for a Train." Equally moving is the bleak, dusty balladry of Townes Van Zandt on "Waiting Around To Die" performed in his kitchen. Featuring the very first recordings of Steve Earle, John Hiatt, and Rodney Crowell, and stirring whiskey-soaked performances by Clark, Van Zandt, Steve Young, David Allan Coe, and others, Heartworn Highways raises the spirit of true roots music.
