Town & Country is an album by the American musician Webb Wilder, released in 1995.[1][2] He is credited with the NashVegans.[3] Town & Country was Wilder's first album for Watermelon Records.[4] Wilder supported the album with a North American tour that included shows with Jason and the Scorchers.[5][6]
Wilder decided to record an album of covers due to acquiring a new backing band.[7] Produced by R. S. Field, Town & Country was recorded in Nashville between November 1994 and January 1995, in a garage and using vintage equipment.[8][9][7] Wilder considered the album a celebration of regionalism and included a map detailing where the songs originated; he also thought it was his least slick album since his debut.[10][11] "Talk Talk" is a cover of the Music Machine song.[12] "I Ain't Living Long Like This" is a cover of the Rodney Crowell song.[12] "My Mind's Eye" was written by the Small Faces.[8] "Original Mixed-Up Kid" was originally performed by Mott the Hoople.[6] "Nashville Bum" is a version of Waylon Jennings's first RCA single.[13] "To the Loving Public" includes a monologue devoted to Wilder's musical philosophy.[14]
