Talk Is Cheap Vol I is a 2003 spoken word album from American rock singer Henry Rollins.

[edit] Format

"Talk is Cheap Volume I" represented a change in format for Henry Rollins' release of his various spoken word performances on CD. The two-disc set features longer tracks (some going as long as 20-25 minutes per segment) and features very little post-production editing work, allowing for the discs to produce a much more realistic, in-the-moment representation of Rollins' spoken word performances.

The "Talk is Cheap" series also features unique cover artwork, in the form of childhood photographs of Henry Rollins.
