So as most are probably aware Guy Clark has an album that just came out called Someday The Song Writes You. I haven't spent much time with the album but I really like the lead single The Guitar. Really cool song about finding a guitar of destiny in an old pawn shop. This show here is Guy Clark running through all the songs on the new album, and a few old standbys. The sound is about a B+, nowhere near as good as the Keepers Outtakes, but still damned fine and worth listening to if you are interested in his new album. For a well written review of this show, look no further than No Depression's own Peter Blackstock who was in attendance for this show. And here is another review from fellow blogger Too Much Country who was also at the show.Download removed per request (see here)

Thanks for offering to everyone & especially the cover art. I snagged two different recordings of the show from Dime, and I was at the show to boot. Quite an evening. I'm a fairly recent convert to Guy's music - have been listening 3-4 yrs. This was my 1st chance to see him live & he didn't disappoint. And while I'm not worthy of having my writing compared to Peter Blackstock's stuff, I took a crack at blogging a review of the show too:

TMC, I added your link to the post. I didn't realize there was a second source. I went and looked. sure enough. What's the sound like, better sound than this one?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, more Guy Clark!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Guy and Townes are my favorite songwriters and Old No.1 my favorite album of all times, but I really love every album since (and incl!) Old Friends! Can't wait to hear the new one, the mailman still has it and if he enjoys it, hell I ain't complainin'!

a large thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, that's what I get for not checking in one day. I promise to buy the Dualtone set (if it sees the light of day) if anyone will direct me to a source for this show. Thanks- D
ReplyDeleteCheck Dime
ReplyDeleteRe: complete album performed.
ReplyDeleteThe song One Way Ticket Down isn't listed. For better or worse, this is the weakest song on SOMEDAYS...anyway. I wonder if that was the reason it got dropped...?

Sorry- What is Dime? I'm obviously not in the loop. FC
