\n\n T he Flatlanders are comprised of Texas music titans Joe Ely\, Jimmie Dale G ilmore and Butch Hancock. Their diverse yet complimentary styles - Joe th e street-wise rocker\, Jimmie Dale the mystic with the classic country voi ce and Butch the cerebral folk singer - forms one of the most extraordina ry kinships in American musical history.
\n\n In January 1972 a newly formed grassroots band The Fl atlanders (comprised of the nucleus of Joe Ely\, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and B utch Hancock) travelled to Tommy Allsup s Odessa\, TX studio at the urging of a local radio DJ. The 14 songs recorded on reel-to-reel tape arguably marked the birth of alternative country music. In celebration of their 40t h anniversary together\, the esteemed founding fathers of Americana will r elease a collection of these recordings as The Odessa Tapes via New West R ecords.
\n\n Thought lost for nearly 4 decades\, The Odessa Tapes pristine recordings capture witho ut any polish the special blend of country\, folk\, roots and cosmic energ y The Flatlanders pioneered. A DVD featuring a candid new interview with T he Flatlanders discussing the myths of the early days of their career and booklet with unreleased archival photos will round out this deluxe package . Limited edition 180-gram vinyl will also be available for the audio port ion of the release.
