Guy Clark Somedays The Song Writes You LP (Birchwood Vinyl)

When Guy Clark discusses the art and craft of songwriting, people listen. He has, after all, been writing songs of uncommon quality for nearly four decades, songs like "L.A. Freeway," "Desperados Waiting For a Train," "The Randall Knife," and "Texas, 1947." Some of them have been snatched up and recorded by other distinctive artists, many of whom are no slouches in the songwriting department themselves ("She's Crazy For Leaving" by Rodney Crowell, "New Cut Road" by Bobby Bare, "Let Him Roll" by Johnny Cash and "Heartbroke" by Ricky Skaggs, to name just a few), while others have filled out the ten studio albums bearing Clark's name, beginning with his 1975 debut, Old No. 1.

Somedays the Song Writes You is another choice album from one of the greatest songwriters to ever come out of the state of Texas.
