Guy Clark’s debut album, out in 1975 on RCA Victor, reissued here by Vinyl Me Please in their Country track in 2024. Cover painting by his wife Susanna Clark.

Backing vocalists here include Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, and Steve Earle – among a shortlist of the folks Guy Clark was a tremendous influence on. Liner notes by Jerry Jeff Walker (of “Mr. Bojangles” fame) credited as Jerry Jeff Waffle.

Includes “Desperados Waiting For A Train,” “L.A. Freeway,” and “Texas – 1947,” all recorded by other major artists in the 70s. What a fantastic songwriter.
