Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting a powerful 1979 performance in Oklahoma, this live album strips the legendary songwriter's catalog down to its purest acoustic essence. Free from the lush arrangements of his early studio work, the pristine fingerpicking and achingly solitary vocal delivery highlight the profound melancholy of his storytelling.
