Check out our review of In the Beginning in our Stuff We Like blog.
2009, Fat Possum
Widely considered one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, Townes Van Zandt has been hailed by such singers as Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson. Fat Possum is proud to reissue In the Beginning, a collection of ten recordings produced by Jack Clement (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, U2) in 1966. Recorded almost two years before the original release of For Sake of the Song, this is Townes in his original element and already writing about drifters, losers and gamblers.
