Earle, Steve & The Dukes
Guy
Steve Earle was nineteen and had just hitchhiked from San Antonio to Nashville in 1974. Back then if you wanted to be
where the best songwriters were you had to be in there. Guy Clark had moved to Nashville and if you were from Texas, Guy
Clark was king. Flash forward more than forty years. In the fall of 2018, Steve and The Dukes went into House Of Blues
studio in Nashville and recorded GUY in six days. "I wanted it to sound live...When youve got a catalog like Guy's and
you're only doing sixteen tracks, you know each one is going to be strong." Earle and his current, perhaps best-ever
Dukes lineup, take on these songs with a spirit of reverent glee and invention. But in the end Guy leads the listener
back to its beginning, namely Guy Clark, which is what any good "tribute" should do. Guy is a saga of friendship, its
ups and downs, what endures. We are lucky that Earle remembers and honors these things, because like old friends, Guy is
a diamond.
