专辑介绍

by Thom Jurek

On his Warner Brothers debut and third album overall, Guy Clark made a hard turn to a more polished country sound -- though it was hardly the &hard& country of Conway Twitty. It was also the most experimental record he'd released to date, cello, clavinet, and harpsichord gracing some of the tunes, and a backing band that included Albert Lee, Buddy Emmons, and Mickey Raphael, among others. Backing vocalists, always a part of Clark's recordings, included Don Everly, the Whites, and Rodney Crowell as well as a young, previously unrecorded Kay Oslin (later K.T. Oslin). Rather than pen everything himself, Clark wrote only half the tunes on the record; the others came from Townes Van Zandt (&Don't You Take It Too Bad&), Rodney Crowell (&Voila, an American Dream&), and Jimmie Rodgers (&In the Jailhouse Now&), among others. Clark's touch was at once more pastoral and more honky tonk, the folky traces of the RCA albums vanished inside tracks like &Houston Kid,& the Van Zandt tune, and &Comfort and Crazy.& It's only in the open-wound &Fool on the Roof Blues& that Clark allows himself the same lightheartedness he did on the earlier records. This is a fine label debut, and if Clark hadn't recorded those two albums for RCA, it might have sounded like a great one. The end result, however, is an artist trying new things and trying to grow, coming up with a handful of real gems in the process.
