spIN Focus - Guy Clark - "Dublin Blues"
Advertisement
Join us for Saturday afternoon’s edition of spIN Focus as we drop the needle on Guy Clark’s masterclass in Texas songwriting, his 1995 album Dublin Blues.
A towering figure in Americana and folk lore, Clark was a craftsman’s craftsman whose economical, evocative lyrics defined the Texas singer-songwriter tradition. Recorded in Nashville with a world-class backing cast including Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith, and Darrell Scott, Dublin Blues stands as one of his absolute high-water marks—rich with world-weary wisdom, vivid storytelling, and effortless acoustic warmth.
We’ll kick off the hour with a brief introduction setting the stage—exploring Clark's legendary Nashville workshop, his uncompromising approach to songwriting, and the rich acoustic production that defines this 1990s classic. Then, we turn the floor over entirely to a full, uninterrupted spin of the record—letting our high-end sound system highlight every warm nylon string strum, delicate fiddle line, and gravelly vocal nuance on enduring tracks like "Dublin Blues," "The Cape," and "Randall Knife."
Drop in, grab an afternoon drink, and experience a masterwork of Texas songwriting in full hi-fi sound!
Show starts at 4:00 PM.
