book with artwork, lyrics, and essays by Dave Hickey, Dave Alvin, and PoB. Legendary Texan artist Terry Allen occupies a unique position straddling the frontiers of country music and visual art; he has worked with everyone from Guy Clark to David Byrne to Lucinda Williams, and his artwork resides in museums worldwide.

Widely celebrated as a masterpiece - arguably the greatest concept album of all time - his spare, haunting 1975 debut LP Juarez is a violent, fractured tale of the chthonic American Southwest and borderlands.

Produced in collaboration with the artist and remastered from the original analog tapes, this is the definitive edition of the art-country classic: the first reissue on vinyl; the first to feature the originally intended artwork (including the lithographs that accompanied the first edition); and the first to contextualize the album within Allen's fifty-year art practice.

"A master lyricist." - New York Times "Eccentric and uncompromising, savage and beautiful, literate and guttural." - Rolling Stone "The single greatest concept album of all time." - PopMatters "Like Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger as reimagined by Tarantino." - AllMusic
