A coastal plain is an area of flat, low-lying land adjacent to a seacoast and separated from the interior by other features. One of the world's longest coastal plains is located in western South America. The southeastern coastal plain of North America is notable for its species diversity. The Gulf Coastal Plain of North America extends northwards from the Gulf of Mexico along the Lower Mississippi River to the Ohio River, which is a distance of about 500 miles (about 800 km). During the Cretaceous age, the central area of the United States was covered by a shallow sea, which disappeared as the land rose. Large fossilized aquatic birds called Hesperornis and Ichthyornis, found in western Kansas, indicate that the shallow sea was rife with fish. The coastal plain lying alongside the lower Mississippi River may be associated with a shallow sea which had existed 100 million years ago.

+A '''coastal plain''' is an area of flat, low-lying land adjacent to a seacoast and separated from the interior by other features.  One of the world's longest coastal plains is located in western [[South America]].  The southeastern coastal plain of [[North America]] is notable for its [[species]] diversity.  The [[Gulf Coastal Plain]] of North America extends northwards from the [[Gulf of Mexico]] along the Lower [[Mississippi River]] to the [[Ohio River]], which is a distance of about 500 miles (about 800 km). During the [[Cretaceous]] age, the central area of the United States was covered by a shallow sea, which disappeared as the land rose.  Large fossilized aquatic birds called ''Hesperornis'' and ''Ichthyornis'', found in western [[Kansas]], indicate that the shallow sea was rife with fish.  The coastal plain lying alongside the lower [[Mississippi River]] may be associated with a shallow sea which had existed 100 million years ago.

-There was the flawed (and later withdrawn), ''[[Small Town Romance]]'' in 1984, and several not-for-retail releases on Thompson's own boutique labels. Then in 2004  [[Cooking Vinyl]] released a live DVD (''Live In Providence'') and in 2005 New West Records released this recording of a 2001 performance given for KLRU's ''Austin City Limits'' series.

-Unlike Thompson's boutique live releases, available at his website and at his shows, ''Live from Austin, TX'' is an audio recording of a single show.  Thompson's boutique releases, such as ''Ducknapped!'' and ''Semi-Detached Mock Tudor'' are compiled from a large number of different shows on the same tour.

-This performance was given in KLRU's studios in front of an audience. Unusually the band is a trio, with Thompson joined by bassist [[Danny Thompson]] (no relation) and drummer Michael Jerome. [[Danny Thompson]] and Jerome had toured as members of the [[Richard Thompson (musician)|Richard Thompson]] band in 1999 and 2000, and would go on to work with him in 2002 on the recording sessions for the 2003 release [[The Old Kit Bag]].
-The [[DVD]] version of ''Live From Austin, TX'' includes an extra track, "Put It There Pal" omitted from the [[Compact Disc|CD]]. Neither version includes the entire performance that Thompson gave at the KLRU studios. Thompson broke a guitar string during "Shoot Out The Lights" and whilst the guitar was being restrung he performed an ''[[a cappella]]'' rendition of the 19th century [[music hall]] song "Sam Hall".
