Terry Allen has shared a new video of him and The Panhandle Mystery Band performing “New Delhi Freight Train,” originally released on the classic Lubbock (on everything) (and famously covered by Little Feat), which we are reissuing in the definitive, deluxe edition on October 14. The video was recorded earlier this year at Texas Tech University in Allen’s hometown of Lubbock, TX during a ceremony honoring Terry and writer and actor Jo Harvey Allen, his wife, on the inauguration of The Allen Collection, which collects visual works and archival materials by both artists. It was the first-ever live performance of Lubbock (on everything) in its entirety.
In this video, Allen is joined onstage by his sons Bukka and Bale, original band members Lloyd Maines (who produced the album) and Kenny Maines, as well as Delbert McClinton on harmonica and Robert Earl Keen on backing vocals.
The video premiered on Noisey along with a long new interview with Terry in which he discusses his hometown, the album, the remastering process, the power of satire, the bullshit of “outlaw country,” Guy Clark’s ashes, Man Ray, and more.
Our definitive reissue features liner notes by David Byrne, and was mastered from the original tapes in collaboration with Allen and Maines. This is the first edition of Lubbock (on everything) to correct the tape speed inconsistencies evident on all prior versions, meaning it is the first time the album will be heard as intended by the artist. In Allen’s extensive oral history in the liner notes boo, he discusses the fascinating origin of “New Delhi Freight Train,” which involves the Bobby Kennedy assassination, The True Story of Jesse James, Gandhi, and Lowell George.
