OLD NO.1 AT 50 - Celebrating The Spirit Of GUY CLARK

On Sat. October 4, some of the Washington area’s best singers and songwriters will gather at the Birchmere to pay tribute to the legendary songwriter Guy Clark, whose debut album Old No. 1 was released 50 years ago, in the fall of 1975. While not an immediate commercial success, the album was filled with songs that became instant classics: “L.A. Freeway,” “Desperados Waiting for a Train,” “Rita Ballou,” “Texas 1947,” “Let Him Roll,” and “That Old Time Feeling.” No one could have known then that Old No. 1 would inspire generations of American songwriters, troubadours, and music fans.
The Guy Clark Family Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting songwriters, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Old No. 1 with a series of concerts around the country to bring awareness to the organization, and to boost songwriters who work in the spirit of Guy Clark. Artists that night will perform songs from Old No. 1 and the rest of Clark’s catalogue, as well as their own original compositions. Ticket sales will help benefit the Guy Clark Foundation.
