Guy Clark

This is the sound of a man so steeped in the roots of Texas'acoustic country songwriting realm that you can hear traces of Kris Kristofferson seeping through (like on the desert hymn "Magdalene"). On the heartbroken and homesick "No Lonesome Tune," Clark conjures up the musical spirit of his late friend Towns Van Zandt. With a stellar string band behind him and heavenly harmonies braiding around his slightly weathered voice, Clark's songs sound as timeless as any of his former works.
