Guy Clark Album: “Craftsman”

For those who don't know Guy Clark's music, or only know his recent works, Craftsman is an essential and delightful find. His three early albums put together for this re-release give a complete overview of who Clark is and what he writes about. An absolute must to know the complete Clark musical history.

These songs by Guy Clark speak for themselves. They tell us stories and take us to another place. Guy Clark is a master story-teller and poet who deserves much more recognition than he has received. Buy this one and find out for yourself.

if you walk around claiming to like this album, you're lying. perhaps unknowingly, but your just lying to yourself. you probably just heard somewhere that you should like this Guy Clark fella and you like the way it looks in your cd collection. sittin there with your john denver and your neil young 'harvest moon' album.

it's amazing to me that Clark could start his career of with a couple of excellent albums and then follow it up with three of the most consistently boring albums released in the late 70's. THE LATE 70'S!!!!!!!

now i know the first of these 3 albums 'guy clark' is praised for it's experimentation. for instance he uses some atypical country music instruments like the harpsichord and the clavinet. wow , big deal he still sounds like conway twitty, only conway twitty with a clavinet and a harpsichord. now if you like conway twitty fine, i'll pay you 50 cents to take my copy of this album off my hands, but if you like what guy was doing on those first two albums then pitch the idea of getting this and buy his later period 'dublin blues' album which kicks an immeasurable amount of hole.
