Ho Hum for me

 Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I can see where some people would like this CD but for me it just didn't cut it. Didn't click with me at all, except for "Let Him Roll", which is the reason I bought the CD. Can't put my finger on it exactly. I'm very "classic country" and somehow this didn't appeal to that thread in me. I like gritty, but I also love melody and this cd somehow missed it on combining the two. Usually Guy is right on with combining those elements but maybe this was more grit and not enough melody for my taste. Actually passed it on to my son.

Review Comments: Having been a fan of Guy Clark for a long time, I have 6 of his albums and this complilation of his songs is just delightful.

Looking for one cut and found it.

Review Comments: I was looking for one song: Texas 1947, and found it on this CD. I'm totally satisfied with the song, thus the CD was worth it for me. Unfortunately, nothing else in the collection impressed me much. It's a matter of taste I'm sure. Some folks will love it. Clark is a little too rough or edgy for my taste. I was put off by the roughness, which, as far as I'm concerned is an awkward attempt at philosophical statement, and which overwhelmed his obvious talent.

Wonderful~ this will become your next new favorite!

Review Comments: Essential is a good descriptive name for this CD, 'cos that's exactly what it is! You just have to have this, even if you've heard 'em all before. If you haven't heard these songs you are in for a real treat! Grab this quickly and get ready to enjoy as superb a performance as you could possibly want! Do I have a special favorite song on here? Yep, "The Ballad of LaVerne & Captain Flint", because nobody but Guy Clark could make this quirky song sound this way. Others I like a lot are "Texas 1847" for its magical word pictures, and "Let Him Roll", a hit for Bobby Bare. "Rita Ballou" & "Virginia's Real" have kept me company for perhaps a million miles on the truckin' road.
Don't wait, buy this now!

Excellent!
