A Guy Clark classic!! Emmylou leads the list of greats assisting here, and Mr Clark uses the instument that is his voice to great effect. A great collection of songs from a master craftsman. An absolute must for the Guy Clark fan, or a fan of the Texas Singer Songwriters. For the Guy Clark novice, this is as good a place as any to begin. Get aholda this one and enjoy!!!!!

A college friend and roommate introduced me to this record back in the early 80's. We used to get together and drink jug wine (cheap 1.5 Liter Cribari) while listening to this LP. Some of the songs stuck with me and I ended up buying the CD a few years ago. I keep coming back to it every so often. I especially like, "Broken Hearted People," He's a Black Haired Boy," "It's Good to Love A Lady," and "Anyhow I Love You." Susanna Clark adds tremendous harmony vocals as well on these songs.

For country/folk genre, this music instills meaningful ballads and heartfelt lyrics. It also captures a young man singing songs that he loves. An interesting addition to my CD collection.

Clark's use of the written word is virtually unmatched in the country/folk field. He has a way of phrasing common thoughts that seems to throw a new light on even the most trivial and typical thoughts or situations. This tape reveals an insight to life that few have lived full enough lives to hold.
