Reunion Hill is a 1997 album by singer-songwriter Richard Shindell. It was Shindell's third and final studio album for Shanachie Records. Allmusic calls the album "songcraft at its finest."[1] The album includes a cover of "I'll Be Here in the Morning" by Townes Van Zandt who died earlier that same year.
Shindell composed the title song in 1996 for Joan Baez,[4] who later included it on her Gone From Danger album. It was also covered by Fairport Convention on their 2011 CD Festival Bell and Show of Hands on their 2012 album Wake the Union. The song is written from the perspective of a Civil War widow. Baez also covered "Money for Floods" on Gone From Danger.
