Guy Clark thread.

Oh no. Didn't realize he had been battling cancer. RIP . Loved his easy-going vocal delivery and clever lyrics

sorry wrong clark!!!!

I was sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinkin' Old Crow whisky, hot 7UP
Out in the parking lot

You can hear the band are playin' right through the wall
Ain't no cover charge, there ain't no last call
Out in the parking lot

My friend Rachel was the photographer for this article and she shared this on fb:

"I have some pretty special memories of sitting in his basement luthier workshop, a portrait of Townes overlooking ("He watches me all day") in wistful clouds of puffed spirit sprinkled smoke - remnants of which were forever tapped into a hand-built clay ashtray on his workbench ("Emmy Lou made me that")."

RIP, Guy. What a gem he was. For fans of the first 2 albums who haven't checked anything else out, Dublin Blues is great from stem to stern.

RIP he wrote so many great songs

damn, one of the best.

so many great tunes. so many quotable lines.

went to Goodwill yesterday and found three pristine promos of Guy Clark albums -- s/t, The South Coast of Texas, and Better Days. They're all good, Better Days is maybe the best one. Lots of incredible musicianship on this album, Vince Gill is basically Clark's #2 on this album, and it's pretty a remarkable set.

Oh main, get outta here with that---you lucky! Rodney Crowell's recent Close Ties incl. a startled, starting song about Susannah Clark--gotta check some of the songs she wrote for and with others, don't think she recorded more than songwriter demos?---was thinking about her painting of a shirt hanging on the cover shot of Old No. 1, which is now on a CD with Texas Cookin', an album I haven't heard; how is it?
Isbell was on a recent PBS Guy trib, shifting his voice just enough to make the chorus of "Desperadoes Waiting For A Train" sound like insistent calls from the past--rather than heavy-handed mellerdrama, as some other singers have done.

Just heard James McMurtry's cover of "Cold Dog Soup" for the first time, really dig it.

We mentioned Heartworn Highways, right? Extry hour on the DVD, worth looking for in color, although black & white works too.

Also the excellent xpost tribute alb.

This one, My Favorite Picture of You, is just heartbreaking

Laid low by Dublin Blues, the song, this week. And all of the "Old Friends" record.
