CD ReviewsTwo of Clark's best records on one GREAT CD Jeff Delfield | 01/14/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Guy Clark is, with out a doubt, one of the greatest songwriters out there still doin' his thing. These two records, rereleased on one cd, consist of his earliest recordings, and they're great - I'd say his best. The 20 highly crafted songs found here are just as humorous as anything written by John Prine, just as down-to-earth as Hank Sr, and just as potent as Dylan. Anyone interested in folks like Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, even y'allternative types like Wilco and Son Volt, will want to check this out." Hard to put on another record... Jeff Potter | Williamston, MI United States | 12/03/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's not like this record needs more recommendation than it has already gotten here, but I'll chime in. Once you start playing this CD, you'll have a hard time stopping. It's dangerous. I just got it a week ago. I miss it when I'm away from it. My wife and I look at each other when we're off doing other things and we chuckle because we're both still grooving on it. Our kids, too. At 2 and 5 they're both into this record as well. Pity me, I never knew of it until just recently. I've just started exploring what I guess you might call the heart of Texas music. I've heard it said that it's a world of its own. They seem to have a special relation with the 'writers.' It's what singer/songwriter is all about. This is my first stop. If you already love Willy and Jerry Jeff, you owe it to yourself to take the next step up and in and check out this particular CD. It's the real thing. It's hard to imagine that Guy Clark isn't as well known as anyone. But if we gradually get a million raves up here... Maybe he's like the finest wines--give em a lot of long, slow years and they eventually end up on top. --JP" Every last song is pure magic Jeff Potter | 04/24/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Guy Clark's first two and very best albums finally available on CD! I spent 25 years wearing out the original LPs, what an incredible experience to now here the clear and crisp fidelity of all these classics - Texas Cookin', Virginia's Real, L.A. Freeway, Rita Ballou - every last song is pure magic. It doesn't get any better than this."
