Question
In the documentary about Townes  Van Zandt, entitles 'Be Here to Love Me', an album he recorded in the 70's in mentioned entitled "Seven Comes Eleven"...Can you tell me if this has ever been released, or is likely to be released anytime soon or ever?
Many thanks.


Answer
Hello Dan,

The album "Seven Come Eleven" was due for release in 1974, but Poppy Records was running out of money, the company collapsed, and "Seven Come Eleven" went unreleased until it was finally issued in 1993 under the title of "The Nashville Sessions".

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
