The Odessa Tapes was the original incarnation of what became One Road More/More a Legend Than a Band. Recorded in Odessa in 1972 at Tommy Allsup's studio, the album-length demo was then kept by the then-bass player and forgotten about for 40 years. Pretty good stuff. Not long after this session, the same songs were re-recorded with a different band in Nashville (see: More a Legend Than a Band).

There is a chain of convenience stores in west Texas and New Mexico called Allsup's, I've always wondered if there was any tie to Tommy Allsup. There would have to be, wouldn't there?

Given the amount of time spent he playing in NM & TX, there's gotta be some kind of connection. Cousins or something.

My band is about to release a new album and since we arguably play country-ish music (we did win Best Country Band in St. Louis last year, somehow), I thought I'd post in this thread, too.

This song's called "Idaho" (click on the image):
