VERLON THOMPSON

“Verlon Thompson”

Timberline     710 x 77

1977

FIRST PRESSING

Not reissued on CD.

ONLY COPY OF THIS MEGA RARE RELEASE ON EBAY AS OF 8-2-2016.   

Excellent copy of this insanely rare regional LP

Verlon Thompson is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and troubadour from Binger, Oklahoma. He has long partnered with Guy Clark as a producer, guitarist, and song co-writer.

I researched for over an hour on the web and have yet to find this LP listed on ANY discography. There is no guideline for pricing on this rascal but I also refuse to gouge my customers.  I made a decision to put it around $50 because (1) I can’t find a copy for sale anywhere, (2) it had to have been released at least a decade before his next LP release, (3) his prominence as Guy Clark’s sidekick and major collaborator and (4) I’m a huge Guy Clark fan (he was a great songwriter and a very nice guy), so if it doesn’t sell, I will be more than happy to keep it in my collection.

From Verlon’s home page:  “Songwriters seem to flourish on the fertile Oklahoma plains. Woody Guthrie, Roger Miller, Leon Russell, J.J. Cale and Jimmy Webb.   Thirty years as a professional songwriter and traveling troubadour serve as credentials. As a solo performer, and as the trusted sidekick of Texas Americana songwriting icon Guy Clark, Verlon has viewed the world from stages everywhere from Barcelona to Binger (his hometown in Oklahoma).  Along the way Verlon Thompson compositions have been recorded by Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson, Anne Murray, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Del McCoury, Sam Bush, Trisha Yearwood and many more.  Equally important in his songwriting and live performances, Verlon's guitar work cannot go unnoticed. His guitar can be heard on recordings by Restless Heart, Pam Tillis, and many more, including, and especially Guy Clark.

Verlon has co-produced Guy Clark's Grammy nominated cd "Cold Dog Soup" as well as "The Dark", "Workbench Songs" and "Somedays the Song Writes You".

Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 39 years.
