	Delta Momma Blues Used - LP - TOM-7013 Still In Shrink, Hard To Find 1978 Second Pressing Of This Great 1971 Recording. Saw Cut, Light Corner Rubs & Light Wear To the Mouth Of The Sleeve.. “On Van Zandt's Fourth Album His Voice Hasn't Yet Attained The Weary Gravitas That Made His Later Albums So Shattering, But His Dark, Skewed Visions Of Life Are Already In Place. "Tower Song" Is One Of The Minor Key Laments Van Zandt Did So Well, Delivered With Sparse Guitar And Subtle Classical Harp. The Singer Is Leaving Behind His Wife And Child, Blaming Her For The Break Up, Although He Admits He's A Drunk And Unable To Communicate With Her, Except In Song. "Where I Lead Me" Is A Dark Folk-Rocker That Takes Another Jaundiced Look At Relationships With His Characteristic Bleak Humor. "Rake" Has The Feel Of A British Folk Song, The Familiar Story Of An Old Soul Adrift Looking Back On His Youth With Longing And Regret. It Has An Epic Feel Augmented By The String Section And A Lone French Horn. "Nothin'" Is A Bitter Kiss Off, A Guy Who Doesn't Want Nothin' From A Departing Lover Who He Says Gave Him Nothin', But There's More Than A Hint Of Revenge And Rage In The Lyric, And Van Zandt's Flat, Dry Singing Makes The Tune Chilling. The Title Track, A Country Blues, Is More Lighthearted, And Sounds Like A Ragged Jug Band Tune. "Turnstyled, Junkpiled" Is In The Same Vein, A Jimmie Rodgers' Style Love Song; You Almost Expect To Hear Van Zandt Break Into A Yodel, But Instead He Starts Talking Like A Drunken Roadside Philosopher. "Only Him Or Me" And "Come Tomorrow" Could Be Commercial Country Songs, But Van Zandt's Hopeless Poetry And Aching Melodies Make Them Sound So Blue They're Hard To Listen To. "Brand New Companion" Is A Boozy 12-Bar Blues, But Something Of A Throwaway Compared To The More Chilling Tunes On The Album.” J. Poet, AMG. more

	Sky Blue Colored Vinyl - New - FP1706-1 Sealed 2019 Limited Edition Pressed On "Sky Blue" Coloured Vinyl, Only 1500 Copies. Includes Download Code. "Ever The Drifter, Townes Van Zandt Came Down From What Would Be The Most Productive Phase Of His Career By Ambling To Atlanta And Crashing With A Friend In Early 1973. This Visit Came At The End Of A Six-year Stretch In Which Van Zandt Released As Many Albums Of His Lonely And Aching Country-folk -- Albums Like Delta Momma Blues And The Late Great Townes Van Zandt That Would Grow Into Classics As The Years Passed. At The Time, However, Van Zandt Was Far From A Star, With Meager Record Sales And Little To Show For His Nonstop Creative Output. Sky Blue Collects Demos Recorded In The High-end Home Studio Of Bill Hedgepeth While Van Zandt Was Passing Through Atlanta And Considering His Next Move. Time Would Unfold Somewhat Cruelly From There, With A Spiral Into Alcoholism And Substance Abuse Creating Problems That Touched Every Aspect Of The Songwriter's Life And Slowed His Recorded Output To A Near Standstill. In Fact, His Stop In Atlanta Preceded Sessions For What Was Supposed To Be His Seventh Studio Album, Seven Come Eleven, Which Was So Entangled In Financial Disputes Between The Producer And Van Zandt's Manager That The Producer Ultimately Erased The Master Tapes. Sky Blue Feels Like The Calm Before What Would Be A Stormy Time, Unaware Of The Teetering Shifts Of Fate That Lay Directly Ahead. The 11 Songs Are Spare, With Just Voice And Guitar Clearly Laying Out Dour Narratives And Understated Songwriting. Two Songs Were Never Fully Fleshed Out In A Studio: The Yearning "All I Need" And The Brightly Sung But Lamenting, Hopeless Blues Of The Titular Track. Also Included Are Stripped-down Versions Of Songs That Would See Later Album Release Like "Rex's Blue" And "Snake Song," As Well As A Hushed Version Of His Best-known Tune, "Pancho And Lefty." The Intimate Sound Of These Recordings Adds Another Layer Of Melancholy To The Already Beautifully Tragic Material. The Loneliness And Pain That Was Palpable In Van Zandt's Best Work Really Comes To The Surface When There's Nothing But The Singer And His Guitar Alone At The Microphone. Some Tossed-off Cover Songs And A Few Tunes Delivered With A Demo-appropriate Lack Of Enthusiasm Keep Sky Blue From Soaring, But There's Something Weighty Happening In This Unassuming Collection Of Song Sketches. Put To Tape At A Time When The Future Was Wide Open For A Young Musician, There's Hope, Electricity, Doubt, And Confusion Woven Into The Plain-spoken Delivery Of This Set Of Songs. Unbeknownst To Him At The Time, It Would Be Five Difficult Years From When Van Zandt Quietly Laid Down These Demos Until He'd Get To Release His Seventh Album, And The Road After That Got No Easier. The Glimmers Of Brilliance Captured On Sky Blue Are Just As Equally Dazzling And Devastating As Van Zandt's Story And The Rest Of The Masterful Catalog He Left Behind."
