Stranger Songs

“Dublin Blues” and Other Songs of Guy Clark

The theme on this edition of Stranger Songs is “Dublin Blues” and Other Songs of Guy Clark. Guy – who died in 2016 at age 74 – was a great Texas singer-songwriter who began releasing albums in 1974. In the liner notes to Old No. 1, Guy’s first album, Jerry Jeff Walker referred to Guy’s songs as “the natural music of the acoustic guitar.” These songs were all written or co-written by Guy Clark.

Thanks, Neil. This show only scratches the surface of Guy's songbook.

I know. Wow, man. After our last chat, I went on "a dig" through his songbook. So much fine music in this world........and, in the end......so little time. I never play any of my music anymore; only listen to The Mighty because the majority of the music curated by all of you fine hosts are new discoveries. Discovering old music is just as exciting as discovering new music.....maybe more!!

There's Red Stripe at IGA this week!?! Am I crazy? Were not in Jamaica !?! Oh, sorry, wrong show. The angelic voice of Emmylou Harris carried the message to the wrong place. Cheers!

Thank you, again, Mike. Great listening... and we own most of these recordings! but to hear them here, put together as you have done... Gotta say, Magnolia Wind... it's a benediction. But... I think James McMurtry now own Cold Dog Soup! ha! He does an awfully good take of it. Thank you, Mike!
