Our Mother The Mountain

"The Definitive Sound of a Masterpiece. For the first time ever, Townes Van Zandt’s 1969 Our Mother The Mountain receives the audiophile treatment with a Half-Speed Master Edition, cut at StarDelta Studios in the UK by Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer Lewis Hopkin. Widely regarded as one of Van Zandt’s greatest achievements, Our Mother The Mountain showcases the emotional depth, poetic brilliance, and lyrical craftsmanship that cemented his place among the finest songwriters in modern folk and country music. Featuring classics such as ‘Be Here To Love Me’, ‘Snake Mountain Blues’, and ‘My Proud Mountains’, the record balances intimate performances with subtle orchestral touches, creating a warm and evocative atmosphere that remains uniquely its own. This new half-speed master reveals the recording with outstanding clarity, greater detail, and a remarkably wide and stable stereo image. Van Zandt’s haunting voice, delicate guitar work, and rich arrangements are presented with exceptional presence and realism, offering the most immersive listening experience yet. More than fifty years after its release, Our Mother The Mountain stands as a singular work of art. Intimate and timeless, it continues to offer solace and connection, resonating far beyond its era. • Townes Van Zandt’s second studio album • Widely regarded as one of his greatest recordings • First-ever Half-Speed Master Edition • Cut at StarDelta Studios (UK) by Lewis Hopkin (Grammy Award-winning engineer) • Features key recordings from his early career • Original vintage Poppy Records labels, faithful to the first pressing • Housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve • Essential listening for fans of Americana, folk, and outlaw country
