This limited edition 2LP contains the full "All Hail West Texas" covers collection, introduced over the course of podcast season one, pressed to opaque pink & opaque blue vinyl.

"I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats: All Hail West Texas", a double-LP compiling the covers of each track from "All Hail West Texas" unveiled during the first season of I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats, a unique new podcast from Night Vale Presents.

The podcast is a remarkable conversation series featuring Welcome to Night Vale and Alice Isn't Dead creator Joseph Fink and New York Times best-selling author John Darnielle, who is also the founder, lead singer, and songwriter for the Mountain Goats-and Fink's own personal artistic hero.

Together, Fink and Darnielle take the listener on a deep dive into the world of creativity and the duality of being an artist and a fan, both by sharing their own creative processes and music-geek obsessions and through immersive chats with other notable musicians and writers including best-selling YA author and music nerd John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) and Merge Records co-founder Mac McCaughan (Superchunk), as well as many special music guests such as Andrew Bird, Craig Finn, Laura Jane Grace, and Amanda Palmer, who offer up their own opinions as well as new renditions of songs from All Hail West Texas.
