If you are a Guy Clark fan / Without Getting Killed or Caught / Documentary

Rpeluso raises interesting and important issues regarding Guy Clark. I had read about the unique relationship between Guy, his wife, and Townes Van Zandt. The film creates a not very flattering impression of Guy.

I was late in discovering Guy and his music, and Townes as well. Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell hold both Guy and Townes in very high regard, far higher than do I. But as with all similar instances of differences of opinion regarding artistic merit, I characterize that as a failing on my part. My standards are based on my love of Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, and Iris DeMent.

I’ve long been a fan of Verlon Thompson, who wrote and played alongside Guy for many years.  Verlon speaks very highly of his regard and friendship with Guy in his concerts and during a brief conversation I had with him before a show a couple years ago.  Can’t wait to see this documentary, thanks for mentioning it.  
 

And check out Barnegie Hall, Verlin’s short-lived series.  During each episode, he has a guest who is a Nashville songwriting legend.  Great stories and performances.

@77jovian thank you for the heads up on Verlon Thompson/Barnegie Hall, just pulled it up and sampled some of his tribute to Guy and loved what I saw and heard can't wait to make a little time and get into in depth. Enjoy the music
