Who here listens to Guy Clark

I listen to him all the time.

I like his stuff.

Love GC

On my playlist as well

Dont think Ive ever heard of the fellow, hmmmm didnt he cover JJW LA Freeway? One of the greatest song writers of all time, he wrote a song about home grown tomatoes and it works. I hate that he is getting up there in age, his last show at the Red Dragon was a "preshow" before the tour so he could find his grounds and remember his songs. Verne had to keep pushing Guy along to get him back in the motion. I am blessed to see him live, because he is one of the greatest and a grandfather or godfather of red dirt and a under appreciated country singer with his influence on country music.

I've never really heard much about him before he came across one of my other Pandora stations. The first thing I did was go check out tour dates, but it doesn't look like he tours anymore. I love the song "the guitar". Great stuff.

I caught one of those shows. He definitely was struggling to stay on track. It was still great to see him live and his songs still sounded great.

Been listening to him for a long time. Great song writer.

It's interesting to see him in the documentary about the life of Townes Van Zandt (Be Here to Love Me). He and especially his wife Susanna were good friends of Townes.

Since Let Him Roll is mentioned one thing Guy talks about is how that was written:

Good but long article about GC from his beginnings until now

I love Guy Clark... he's part of that group of old school Texas singer/songwriters that are so bad arse...
