Title: Solid Work
Review: Guy Clark is an aquired taste but he's a craftsman. He's like a guy that makes custom wood furniture. You may not like the piece but you know that it was well made, of good material and more than a little sweat. I was particularly taken with Magdalene, Broke His Funny Bone and Analog Girl. The arrangements are spare but appropriate. I find myself whistling more ornate Mexican rifts in Magdalene which has very simple ones. OK I am a sixty's folky and I like texas music. All of these songs have something to recommend them I just picked out the three that are currently running around in my head. If you know and like Guy Clark then you know what your getting, just differnt thoughts in a solid package. If you don't know Guy and like intelligent folk/cowboy music, do yourself a favor.
