There are a number of artists from Texas or parts nearby that intrigue me musically. James McMurtry , Steve Earle, JJ Cale and the list goes on. The granddaddy of the artists, from that part of the world is Guy Clark. Hell he who goes back to the 60’s. Perhaps because we’re the same age but the vitality in his newest album impresses me. As in his previous album he does a great cover of a Townes Van Zandt song, but my favorite is “Hemmingway’s Whiskey”. The old guy is on his game here. B+.
