Long Gone Dead is the second album by the American band Rank and File, released in 1984.[3][4] Founding member Alejandro Escovedo left the band prior to the recording sessions for the album.[5]
The first single was "Sound of the Rain".[6] The album was a commercial disappointment.[7]
Recorded in Austin, the album was produced by Jeff Eyrich.[8][9] Stan Lynch played drums on the album; Richard Greene played fiddle.[10][11] The band made a point of engaging with any musical idea that came to them, rather than sticking to one style.[12]
"I'm an Old Old Man" is a cover of the Lefty Frizzell song.[13] "John Brown" is about the abolitionist.[12]
