Fire Records is reissuing the entire back catalog of the legendary Giant Sand. Last year marked the 25th anniversary of the band’s Valley Of Rain debut, and the Tucson, Ariz., quartet just issued the new Blurry Blue Mountain. Giant Sand has had countless lineups over the years (John Convertino and Joey Burns of Calexico were longtime members), but the one constant has been singer/songwriter Howe Gelb. Fire’s reissue series kicked off with Valley Of Rain, 1986’s Ballad Of A Thin Line Man and 1987’s Storm and will eventually include roughly 30 Giant Sand, Gelb and side-project albums, culminating in two boxed sets. Download Valley Of Rain‘s title track, “Graveyard” (from Ballad Of A Thin Line Man) and “Uneven Light Of Day” (from Storm) below.
