High school teacher of mine used to say, "Come over and see us; we'll treat you so many different ways you're bound to like one of 'em." Guy Clark gives such a variety of songs on this collection that the same thing could be said. Unless you're only interested in chart-topping, formulaic pop country, I can't see how you could not find something to love in this grouping. "Sis Draper" is pretty much pure bluegrass, "Bunkhouse Blues" is so Texas hill country it even includes cowboy yodeling and "Men Will Be Boys" is fun country-folk. "Ft. Worth Blues" is lonely, haunting and beautiful. "Cold Dog Soup" is a terrific lancing of the beat poet scene of the Sixties. I'm not crazy about "Indian Head Penny" which might be the weakest song in the collection but other people love it. This isn't the best Guy Clark collection available but it is certainly worthy of his talent and your time. It's not at all a bad introduction to his music, though I like The Platinum Collection,Dublin Blues and The Essential Guy Clark better for that purpose. If you really like folk music and can tolerate a touch of bluegrass and country, I truly believe you'll like this album. By the way, listen to the samples; they do a pretty good job of conveying the general tone and feeling of each song. (Amazon Review)
