Vinyl edition features: download code, tip on jacket, 4 panel heavy insert containing rare photographs, essay's by Frye Gaillard (Watermelon Wine: Remembering The Golden Years Of Country Music), and Vince Matthews, and the recipe for Melva's Wine! Features the original version of "Laid Back Country Picker", recorded by and live staple of Waylon Jennings (and recently performred by Shooter Jennings, and by Father John Misty). An amphetamine-fueled, prophetic, loose and gritty, 1972 Polaroid snapshot into the lives of a small town of an America gone by. Championed by Johnny Cash (who provided his studio and engineer, and penned the liner notes), and produced by Shel Silverstein (along w/ Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Cowboy Jack Clement), the "Suite" was the talk of the Nashville outlaw underground, but then, mysteriously shelved for 40 years.
