On "The South Coast of Texas," Texas singer-songwriter Guy Clark sounds like he is recording live takes with friends in the studio. His vocals sound loose and relaxed, which helps liven up his sad and sullen lyrics.
"Rita Ballou" is freshly re-recorded, with future smash hits (for other artists) "Heartbroken" and "Crazy for Leavin'"
All songs written or co-written by Guy Clark.
Highly recommended.
Track Pick: Crystelle
Gems: Heartbroke, Rita Ballou, She's Crazy for Leavin', The Partner Nobody Chose
