Townes Van Zandt - Live at the Old Quarter - LP

2LP, 180 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket

Recorded over five sweltering July 1973 nights at the Old Quarter in Houston, this double live album captures Townes Van Zandt alone with his guitar before an intimate, packed-in crowd. Widely regarded as among the finest recordings of his career, it moves through his own classics — "If I Needed You," "Pancho and Lefty" — alongside covers of Bo Diddley, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Merle Travis, complete with his laconic between-song banter.
