The Hungry Years
Recorded in 1986, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Garth was (as the story goes) raising support for his trip to Nashville. To help raise money, he recorded a collection of mostly cover tunes (2 were originals) and sold them. There are several copies of this collection circulating- some have 18 songs, some have 23 songs withthe last 5 songs having really bad audio. There are even collections with 24 or 25 songs.
