For the Sake of the Song

Originally released in 1968 For The Sake of The Song is a re-issue of Townes' well-known debut album on the greatest format ever to format, 8 Track tape! Produced by Jack Clement (Charley Pride, Chet Atkins, U2, etc.) Townes Van Zandt went on to cement his status as cult icon among gifted song writers such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Emmylou Harris who eventually recorded their own covers of Townes' songs. Because music sounds better on tape!
