4.0 out of 5 stars COMES FROM THE HEART/DANCES LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING, August 6, 2002

A deep songwriter's album, both Guy's and his wife's songs as well as the great Townes Van Zandt's song "To Live Is To Fly" Surprisingly "COMES FROM THE HEART" ,the song that has become a cult classic and quoted all over the internet, is written by Susannah Clark and Richard Leigh. The lyrics just connect with people in a positive encouraging way. The chorus is:
"You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watchin'

It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work"
I believe this is the first recording of it but many singers have recorded it by now. I just wanted to let people know about this amazing song and where it came from.As far as I'm concerned all Guy Clark albums are good and some are great. The songs stick with you and he's mesmerizing live as well. He's an accomplished singer who uses his "lived-in voice" to communicate extremely well. He's sure knows how to write, co-write and pick the best songs of other artist. I've found lots of other artists just by researching the writers and pickers associated with Guy Clark. Check out all his cd's and live shows.

Texas folk music is the best way to describe this one. Catchy tunes and great lyrics make this one a timeless piece of music. Seems to get better with every listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guy Clark...an amazing talent, March 15, 2000

I LOVE Guy Clark and have since the 70's. I have every album he ever made and am now in the process of purchasing his music in CD format. Bauldie needs to grab a beer, sit back, relax and listen to what Guy Clark has to say. There's more to his music than Mr. Bauldie realizes.
