I've said it before, but a true music snob can't have an instant aversion to country music, because there's too much good shit out there. Specifically, there's a group of Texas singer-songwriters that every good snob must be knowledgeable about. Guy Clark is among the best of these. Clark's 1975 debut LP is a collection of several songs already recorded by other Texans, like "Desperados Waiting For A Train" and this track, which I posted in honor of my 70-minute commute today on the 10 and 405 freeways. Plus, there's a bunch of other great Clark originals running the gamut of songwriter styles, with backing from good folks like Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, and Steve Earle.
