Album Notes & Community Reviews
A foundational masterwork of the Texas singer-songwriter tradition, Guy Clark's debut album is an incredibly poignant, immaculately crafted collection of Americana. 'Old No. 1' thrives on beautifully pastoral, wonderfully acoustic instrumentation, delivering fiercely melodic, deeply bittersweet character studies filled with remarkable poetic passion and rugged romanticism.
