Include digital download containing bonus interview tracks with KUT's Larry Monroe.From the liner notes by Harold Eggers Jr.:'These recordings are as close to the bone of Townes as you can get. They give the listener a very unique and detailed insight into and overview of his songwriting, music, and life as no other. Townes often made light of the dark, living in the shadows more than not.This album and Townes spoken words (bonus tracks) are significant because Townes personally chose each track, and in his own words revealed the private person and singer/songwriter/artist he was.These recordings and spoken words were very important to Townes for the world to hear his music and life story as he lived it, as told from the man himself.'
