Anything by the late great Guy Clark is outstanding!

He wrote that song after he was fed up with trying to make it in the LA rat race music industry. Packed up and moved back to Texas. BTW that video is just part of the complete song.

Ryan, go to AAPK Tips and Tricks, and see jerryd’s school of YouTube posting!

Here’s the rest of it.

Thanks Ken! I’ll check that out So I can post videos better… Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt are two of my favorite old-school singer songwriters, so is Billy Joe Shaver....Did you ever see the full movie “Heart Worn Highways” with all those guys? It’s pretty awesome if you can come across it… Most of it is on YouTube pieces at a time but I actually bought the DVD for a friend a few years back for Christmas and we like watching it from time to time and having a few beers…OC—Check out more of his old videos and Townes Van Zandt… Both were true songwriting geniuses…

Cool song! Never heard that before.

Ryan I haven’t seen that movie. I’ll have to look for it. I think I probably have every song Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt ever wrote. I’m also a big fan of Rodney Crowell. BTW they’re all Texans. I saw Guy Clark years ago at a small club in Dallas (Poor David’s Pub). Just him and another guitarist for several hours playing requests and conversing with the audience, just like as if it was in your living room.

If you don’t have it try to get a copy of the CD Together at the Bluebird Cafe - Steve Earle/Townes Van Zandt/Guy Clark.

Ken—

..Rodney Crowell is one of my favorites also! U can buy the dvd of “Heart Worn Highways” on eBay, but it’s expensive as it’s out of print.. it’s as lo on YouTube in 5-10 minute videos at a time like I said in my other post.. Guy, Townes and Guy’s wife Susanne were (? spelled right) best friends for years.. I’ve seen Guy give some interviews talking about all of their shenanigans over the years, good stuff!!

Speaking of their shenanigans, if you listen to nothing else from that link I posted, listen to Townes’ story about “the interfaith dental clinic”.

Ken—I’m willing to bet the other guitarist was Verlon Thompson??…Guy’s sidekick for The latter part of his career (Maybe his whole career off and on)…He’s another song writing genius and guitar virtuoso…He still does small concerts at tiny venues and does private shows by request I believe

Here’s Guy and Verlon Paying tribute to Townes..

Thanks for that link Ryan. It probably was Verlon accompanying him. Here’s another Townes Van Zandt song, one of my favorites. By someone who can sing! (Accompanied by Townes)

Songs like this make you realize why Steve Earle said Townes was a better songwriter than Bob Dylan.

Amen to that!! Dylan actually sought him out to pick his brain…

Billy Joe and Eddy at their finest..https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6G9I-XYJ-QY

And here’s Eddy playing with Guy Clark in 1980–he rips up both his solo and his outro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pGxJnB350b8

In 1980 Eddy turned 18 years old. I’m wondering how old he was in that first video, with his dad - he looks even younger than in the 1980 video. Amazing talent.

BTW that song “The Ragged Old Truck” is a true story. Billy Joe’s wife (Eddy’s mother) left him and he was thinking of killing himself. According to him he had actually put the gun to his head before changing his mind and shooting a hole in the wall instead. Billy Joe and his wife got married, divorced and re-married three times. He says it just showed how dumb she was (to marry him three times).

Some early Steve Earle! Another great Texas artist.
