Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by fellow Texan Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark's third studio album slightly polishes his rugged, narrative-driven songwriting. 'The South Coast of Texas' features exceptional acoustic fingerpicking and poignant reflections on Gulf Coast life, maintaining his status as a premier architect of the progressive country movement[cite: 1].
