Comment
Live in Austin, TX, recorded live at Dixie's in 1983 available in CD and DVD on November 26. Guy's web store is taking pre-orders now!
Go ahead. Dive in yourself. Live from Austin, TX captures the singular songwriter in peak form. Clark delves deeply into a literate and meditative storytelling. His songs unearth the extraordinary in the ordinary ("L.A. Freeway"). They're as accessible ("Texas 1947") as they are artful ("That Old Time Feeling"). Four decades on, Live from Austin, TX showcases Clark delivering his most vibrant ("Rita Ballou") and vivid vignettes ("Homegrown Tomatoes").
The results are stunning. Clark's guitar playing is pristine ("Virginia's Reel"). His singing is sharp ("Anyhow, I Love You"). His stage presence absolutely captivates (the then-brand new "Randall Knife"). Texas music fans: Check out a youthful Robert Earl Keen sitting spellbound front row that night at Dixie's in 1983.
In 1983, Clark had earned a reputation as one of our most highly regarded lyricists. His landmark debut Old No. 1 (1975), as well as Texas Cookin' (1976), Guy Clark (1978) and South Coast of Texas (1981), backed the point. All four are represented on Live from Austin, TX. Rarely performed high watermarks such as "Calf Rope," "Supply and Demand" and "The Carpenter" fortify standards like "Desperadoes Waiting for a Train," "Let Him Roll" and "Homegrown Tomatoes."
Now, discover our national treasure yourself. If you're already familiar with Clark, this collection will only strengthen your bond with the Dean of Texas songwriting. "Guy's is a really true, honest voice," says Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Ryan Bingham. "His songs will be around for hundreds of years."
