Townes Van Zandt, At My Window, 1987 on Sugar Hill
Van Zandt’s eighth studio album and only one recorded in the 1980s, originally released on the bluegrass label Sugar Hill. I never miss a chance to pick up a Townes Van Zandt record in good shape.
Recorded at Jack Clement’s studio in Nashville (“Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa”) and produced by Clement and Jim Rooney. Great versions of “For the Sake of the Song” and “Gone, Gone Blues” and the title track.
My copy – via Pitchford Records in Concord NH – is the 2022 Craft reissue for Record Store Day 2022 on blue vinyl.
