Description

In 2009 Steve Earle released an album of Townes Van Zandt songs. It began as solo guitar and vocal tracks recorded in October 2008 in New York City. Other instruments were added later in subsequent sessions for the album in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. Those original recordings The Basics were released on a limited edition bonus CD with the Townes album and became available on vinyl for the first time in 2014. Back on the format for the first time in half a decade, the 10-track collection includes moving versions of To Live Is To Fly, No Place To Fall, and Poncho & Lefty among others!
