LA Freeway is one of my all time favorite songs. Guy is a master songwriter. Don't miss this one.
- This guy is the guy... :)

This album has some startlingly perfect moments. He sang the eulogy at Townes Van Zandt's funeral. These songs are great. Pay special attention to Let Him Roll. This is country storytelling at its best!
- Good Texas Country

i personally prefer jerry jeff walker, but guy clark takes texas country in a much more softer manner whereas jerry likes to go on all 8 cylinders sometimes. but not to knock guys songwriting, because this whole album is quality music so its not fair to compare the two
- This album changed changed my life

So when my dad was in college he had partied to the cross over king of Tennessee, Hank Williams. By the time I got to college I was fairly devoted to the notion that I hated country music (like hating opera and escargot , that's a common thing for 18 year olds to say.) I had a horrific sophomore year punctuated by unrequited love and being stoned pretty much constantly. I spent a sad volume of time with a group of non-friends smoking dope and not studying... and the person whose room we hung out in worshipped this record. He played it relentlessly. I was still faithful to 70s rock, so much so I rejected the new wave. Still Guy Clark began to seep into my soul. That batch of stoners even managed to commandeer the concert committee and (to the consternation of country haters throughout the school) Guy clark was booked twice in three semesters to play at Sewanee. Guy opened for an Emmylou Harris show I saw shortly after college and I was reminded. For a decade I remembered that record. Ten years after that the CD world caught up and there it was again. I had outrun my sophomore misery and was beyond associating that record with such a failed time... and could return to the marvel of the majestic writing and craftsmanship in this flawless record. It may have started with Hank, but this record taught me the true gift and power of real country music.
