Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding his famously sparse, acoustic folk sound with subtle gospel organs and a full rhythm section, Townes Van Zandt delivered one of his most surprisingly optimistic collections. 'High, Low and In Between' remains wonderfully melancholic, utilizing deeply poetic, beautifully pastoral country-folk to explore intensely spiritual, warmly melodic reflections on salvation.
