Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Great biography of one of my favorite American singer songwriters - Guy Clark. His songs and his collaboration is so inspiring. Oct 11, Rebecca rated it really liked it. Clark was brutally honest in sharing his story with Saviano, with intricate —and intimate — facets that had never before been made public. Edit Storyline This minute documentary follows Guy Clark, Susanna Clark, and Townes Van Zandt as they rise from obscurity to reverence: Guy, the Pancho to Van Zandt's Lefty, struggling to establish himself as the Dylan Thomas of American music, while Susanna pens hit songs and paints album covers for top artists, and Townes spirals in self-destruction after writing some of Americana music's most enduring and influential ballads. Organizing a lifetime into a story is a challenge. Thorough telling of Guy Clark's life, although the recitations of concerts performed and touring was a bit dry at times. In order to make this film a reality, we invite you to come along on this ride with us. I've been a fan of Guy Clark since the early 70's. I had a strange and beautiful dream last spring Early April. See the full gallery. I highly recommend this to any fan of Guy Clark, and I suspect anyone who isnt a fan, will be one by the end of the book. We spend ample time in the film discussing how the city and artists who lived there inspired Guy. I never met Guy Clark Saviano has been curious about the lives of songwriters since she first discovered Guy Clark at the age During the past two decades Tamara Saviano has established herself as a tireless advocate of American music and its artists. Sadly, I've done that with other books about musicians. First off, I am a huge Guy Clark fan. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Guy Clark's music and the music of other singer-songwriters, or just to anyone who wants to read a compelling story about the music scene and the evolution of Americana music in Texas and Nashville from the 60's to the present. A biography of Guy Clark is an irresistible prospect. Great choices on the pictures. Without Getting Killed or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark Writer Rich in interviews with Guy and his wife Suzanna, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Vince Gill and others, the book details the hard-scramble life of the singer as he moved from Texas to Los Angeles and eventually to Nashville. I enjoyed reading this book about the legendary Texas songwriter Guy Clark. The film explores how Guy made an even a stronger commitment to his art as the next seven albums unfolded. Saviano, who served as Clark's publicist and the producer of 's This One's for Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark , presents her subject with an intimacy that balances the dichotomy of his intimidating candor and keen sensitivity. Jan 13, Nick Kopsian rated it it was amazing. And as the author admits early in the piece, the life of Guy by implication entwines itself around his wife and muse, Susanna, and his friend and compatriot, songwriter Townes Van Zandt. I was not disappointed, the book was fantastic. Townes Van Zandt had released four albums of his own exotic compositions written since he and Guy had met in Houston.

It was a gutsy move at a time when the major label business was making money hand over fist.

  • Here It Might, As Long As It’S Somewhere Worth Traveling
    BRUCE ROBISON Bruce Robison has been making music professionally for decades. He still discusses his craft with so much enthusiasm he sounds almost like a kid raving about superheroes. That infectious energy is evident in every note of his new album, Bruce Robison & the Back Porch Band, as well as his new project, The Next Waltz, a blossoming community of artists, fans and friends gathering both virtually and at his recording studio in Lockhart, just outside of Austin. In both cases, the point is to celebrate country music’s rich traditions while giving creativity free rein to go where it might, as long as it’s somewhere worth traveling. It’s also about celebrating Robison’s “love of the craft of song.” “Writing is where it all starts for me,” he explains. “Whether it’s my writing, or songs I want to do with somebody else. I love the mechanics of it; how simple it can be.” Keeping it simple — and organic — was the guiding principle behind the latest album, a collection of Robison originals, co-writes and covers that capture country’s most beloved stylistic elements: good-time, lighthearted romps (“Rock and Roll Honky Tonk Ramblin’ Man”; “Paid My Dues”) and wistful, sometimes bittersweet ballads (“Long Time Coming”; “Still Doin’ Time”). But even the Who’s “Squeezebox” — which Robison calls “a great country song by some English dudes” — shows up, in a lively version dressed with cajun fiddle by Warren Hood and acoustic guitar and harmonies by Robison’s wife, Kelly Willis. Hood is one of a hand-picked crew of regulars tapped for Next Waltz recording sessions with Jerry Jeff Walker, Randy Rogers, Jack Ingram, Rodney Crowell, Willis, Hayes Carll, Turnpike Troubadours, Sunny Sweeney, Reckless Kelly and others.

  • Steve Earle Townes Biography
    Steve Earle Townes Biography Steve Earle had two reasons for coming out with this long-planned tribute to Townes Van Zandt now. The first reason is practical. Earle is currently pushing himself to finish a years-in-the-making novel, and he wants to see it in print before the publishing business goes belly up. The second is a more personal concern. Like all artists worthy of the name, Steve Earle loves the truth, and in the case of Van Zandt, he sees that the waters are muddying before his eyes. Very often over periods of years, the truth first becomes myth and myth later becomes truth. In regards to his teacher, hero and friend Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle was not about to let that happen. “I’m very thankful that when I got out of jail I started meeting people like Jay Farrar and other people his age that knew Townes chapter and verse,” he says. “I’ve always been very thankful for that. But a lot of what powered that is a take on roots music that comes from alternative music, and the crowd that kind of attached itself to Townes was the same kind of people that have White Light / White Heat in the front of their record collection so everybody knows how intense they are when they have a party. I love that record, but I don’t think I’ve listened to it all the way through since I bought it.” “I’m tryin’ not to kill myself,” he laughs. Van Zandt’s reputation has been under something of an overhaul since the dawn of the 1990s.

  • TEN Wildness, Eschatology, and Enclosure in the Songs of Townes Van Zandt
    TEN Wildness, Eschatology, and Enclosure in the Songs of Townes Van Zandt Michael B. MacDonald INTRODUCTION Loss and tragedy were present in the earliest days of American country music in part because it emerged from the great urbanization of America. This was a time of massive relocation when American life quickly and violently became city life. Country music, like folk music before it, was born from the shock of urbanization. Lola Scobey, in the liner notes of Van Zandt' s 1978 release Flyin' Shoes, remarked: "Townes carries the terror and the sorrow of a deeply sensitive man who has looked into the abyss and seen... the abyss." But this is too romantic; there is no abyss. Van Zandt looked at the folk on Main Street and wrote about it; however, this makes it sound too obvious, perhaps too na1ve. Van Zandt is anything but naive. His observations cut to the bone and reverberate upon the fractured psyche of America gone wrong, an America suffering from loss. I would contend that he wrote about the dark side of the American dream, or, perhaps, that he wrote mini-docu­ mentaries of the American dream becoming nightmare. However, sloppy words such as these do Van Zandt an injustice. These are the words of platitude and marketing, of Hallmark sentimentality. Van Zandt does not choose these words; instead, he strikes out against marketing corpora­ tions and entertainment companies who ingest romanticism and replace history with an imaginary vision of an ideal past. Culture is transformed from a living system, developed to help the individual deal with the vagaries, dangers, and paradoxes of life, into a constellation of consum- 145 146 Michael B.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

You enter by the music and fall into so much more. Film at the end of Saviano dives deeply into exploring his relationships with Susanna Clark and Townes Van Zandt, and she doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable moments. Saviano, a longtime figure on the Americana scene as journalist, publicist, artist manager, and Grammy-winning producer, had the complete cooperation of Clark, who sat for interviews on and off camera. Film delivered Nov You'll need an HTML5 capable browser to see this content. This reward is a Digital "Director's Cut" edition of the film. You could tell these guys loved writing songs and being friends. Music happens in the performance, the captured recording, on the stage, in a moment. Guy Clark, the dean of Texas songwriters, struggles to write poetic songs while balancing a complicated marriage with wife Susanna, and a deep friendship with writer Townes Van Zandt, on whom Susanna forged a passionate dependence. Thank you for your kind donation! I've always thought he is one of America's greatest songwriters, so I was pleased to read that his contemporaries think so too. Highly recommended. She is also a business woman and entrepreneur, directing a full service creative agency serving folk and Americana artists, with a special love for songwriters from the great state of Texas.
