When Poppy Records went bankrupt in 1973, it left
Townes Van Zandt
with two unreleased albums. One was
Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas
, which was released by Tomato, Poppy's successor, in 1977. The other was a studio recording that languished for 20 years until being issued by Rhino/Tomato in 1993 under the title
The Nashville Sessions
. By that time,
Van Zandt
had put 10 of its 12 songs on such albums as
Live at the Old Quarter
,
Flyin' Shoes
At My Window
, and
Live & Obscure
. Since six of them turned up on his next studio album,
acted as a kind of rough version of that album. Otherwise, one might have suspected that the songs came from before
Van Zandt's
sixth album,
The Late, Great Townes Van Zandt
, since they seemed to have more in common with his fifth album,
High, Low and In Between
. One of the two previously unheard songs,
"Upon My Soul,"
was similar to the uptempo gospel tunes on that album. One also might have suspected that the songs could be outtakes from the fifth and sixth albums, since they were not quite up to the quality of those records. ~ William Ruhlmann
