I didn't think it would go over, but I had nothing on Tuesday so I posted about Guy Clark. I didn't expect the response to be so positive, with so many familiar with his work.
I finished the mix. It's not entirely '70's Texas. Emmylou wanted Gram's "$1000 Wedding" because it's such a great song, Lucinda and Gillian are here because she wanted a little company with all those Honky Tonk Heroes. Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives are a National Treasure, and "Altitude" fit nicely next to James Burton and the Hot band. It's a Road Trip CD playlist so Area Code 615's instrumental hot take, "Southern Comfort" is essential. It ends with "Black Haired Boy" written by Guy and Susanna Clark, and most certainly about Townes.

Nice! Cool mix and great intro to the region's music. I could listen to "Dallas" by the Flatlanders over and over.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteMarty had a wonderful show hi lighting both Country and Rock and Bluegrass.
ReplyDeleteA real CBGB setting. Although the show is no more if you can find RFDtv among your listings - I was a fan when it was actually on. 1 more - his collection of Country Icon
memorabilia would rival the R/R Fame
Hey Buzz baby ... You are reading my mail! Great mix. Thanks
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Looks like a great mix - thanks for the thought you put into to this and for sharing it while Sal is hopefully sipping hurricanes and dining on soft-shell po-boys!!
