Seen the Mona Lisa, too

And I have heard Doc Watson play Columbus Stockade Blues.

...I loved you from the get go

And I'll love you till I die

I loved you on the Spanish Steps

The day you said goodbye.


Chokes me up every time. Go to YouTube and find Guy Clark with Karen Matheson--Dublin Blues. Wondrous.

But while you're there, first maybe find Doc's rendition of Columbus Stockade Blues with Stacy Thomas. It's shot in Doc's sister's living room (the screen door's "W" shows in the background). Terrible audio/video, but great performance.

YouTube link to the videos - YouTube won't allow me to embed.

I've long been a fan of Guy Clark, started after seeing him on one of Austin City Limit's Songwriter's Showcase.

Darrell Clark ("You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive") worked with Guy Clark on several albums. He wrote & performs a song called "Down to the River" which mentions several songwriters including Townes Van Zant & Guy Clark. It includes a spoken word part by Clark & when performed live, he follows it with "Desperados Waiting for a Train".



The original.

Thank you for the link. My skills in that area are rusty at best.

Great songwriter. I like “The Randall Knife”. It’s about his father who was an attorney in Rockport, Tx.

Clark spent his early 20s in Houston. One of his buds there was Jerry Jeff Walker who later recorded Clarks LA Freeway.

Clark was also an artist. He built guitars too.

Good bio is “Without Getting Killed or Caught”.
