It was a simpler time, 1973, when the consummate barroom musician recorded the hallmark album that launched him into stratospheric stardom.

A second disc includes the premiere release of his fabled performance of some previously unreleased tunes, like “Captain Jack,” recorded in 1972 prior to the original’s release.
