Courier is the first live recording and sixth album by Richard Shindell. It includes many of his most popular originals from previous recordings, a cover of Lowell George's classic song, "Willin'", and what has been described as a "near-holy reading" of Bruce Springsteen's "Fourth of July, Asbury Park".[8]
Signature Sounds also offered a limited number of bonus EP's titled The Sonora Sessions, which included an additional seven tracks.
