Our Take

Guy Clark's "Great American Radio - Vol. 1" is a delightful journey through the musical landscape of the American West, filled with tales of love, loss, and whiskey-soaked highways. With his gravelly voice and poetic lyrics, Clark effortlessly transports listeners to dusty roadside bars and picturesque sunsets. From the rollicking opener "L.A. Freeway" to the introspective "Desperados Waiting for a Train," Clark's storytelling prowess shines through on every track. The album is a masterclass in Americana songwriting, with each song painting a vivid picture of life on the road. But what truly sets Clark apart is his ability to inject humour and wit into even the most melancholy of songs. Take "That Old Time Feeling," for example, a melancholic tune about lost love that somehow manages to make you chuckle through the tears. With "Great American Radio - Vol. 1," Guy Clark proves once again why he is a legend in the world of Americana music. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates good storytelling, toe-tapping tunes, and a healthy dose of humour. So grab a bottle of bourbon, sit back, and let Guy Clark take you on a musical road trip unlike any other. Cheers, y'all.

About the artist

Guy Clark

Guy Clark, the legendary Texas troubadour, is a true Americana icon with a career that spans over five decades. Known for his masterful songwriting, intricate guitar picking, and craggy voice that could make a grown man weep, Clark is a true storyteller in the vein of Townes Van Zandt and John Prine. Born in Monahans, Texas in 1941, Clark's music reflects the wide open spaces and dusty roads of his home state. His lyrics are filled with colourful characters, heartbreaking tales, and wry observations about the human condition. With albums like "Old No. 1" and "Dublin Blues," Clark has left an indelible mark on the Americana and folk music scenes. Clark's influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from Steve Earle to Emmylou Harris, who have covered his songs and cited him as a major inspiration. His music is a testament to the power of storytelling and the beauty of simplicity in songwriting. But don't let his gentle demeanor and cowboy hat fool you - Clark is a force to be reckoned with on stage. His live performances are a masterclass in songcraft and musicianship, with Clark effortlessly switching between guitar, harmonica, and mandolin. With a career that has seen him honoured with a Grammy Award and induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Guy Clark's legacy is secure as one of the greats of American music. So pour yourself a whiskey, put on some Guy Clark, and let his tales of love, loss, and redemption take you on a journey through the heart of the Lone Star State. Trust us, you won't regret it.
