A Collection Of Previously Unreleased Recordings Released On What Would Have Been Townes' 75th Birthday. The Recordings Were Made In Early 1973 With The Late Bill Hedgepeth A Journalist Musician And Most Crucially A Close Friend Of Townes. These Versions Of “Pancho & Lefty” And “Rex’s Blues” Show These Songs As Early Drafts Raw Sorrowful And As Stunningly Moving As He Ever Was Full Of Clean Flat-Picking And Adept Flourishes In Just The Right Places. In Addition To A Handful Of Old Favorites Sky Blue Also Includes Two New Songs That Have Never Been Heard Before—”All I Need” And “Sky Blue”—as Well As Covers Of Songs By Richard Dobson And Tom Paxton. There Is A Smoky Version Of “Blue Ridge Mountain Blues” And A Scarred And Scarring Interpretation Of “Hills Of Roane County ” An East Tennessee Murder Ballad From The 1880s That Was Popularized By Tony Rice.
