After All These Years (album)

After All These Years is the 1981 album by singer-songwriter Mickey Newbury, considered the concluding album of his remarkable 1970s run, it was the last album he would record for seven years. The album is very different in tone from its predecessor and revives Newbury's talent for song suites with "The Sailor/Song Of Sorrow/Let's Say Goodbye One More Time." Other highlights on the album include "That Was The Way It Was Then" and "Over The Mountain."

After All These Years was collected for CD issue on the eight-disc Mickey Newbury Collection from Mountain Retreat, Newbury's own label in the mid-1990s, along with nine other Newbury albums from 1969-1981.
