Photographer: Senor McGuire. "Craftsman" may be the perfect word to describe Texas songwriter Guy Clark. He is, after all, an artist who labors over his work until it is solid bedrock. The irony, in Clark's case, is that for all his painstaking attention to detail, his songs roll off with an easy sureness, as if he just knocked them off while waiting for a bus. Make no mistake: Clarke, like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt, knows how difficult it is to create an entire world within two or three minutes. CRAFTSMAN presents three albums (GUY CLARK, THE SOUTH COAST OF TEXAS, BETTER DAYS) in their entirety. Clark instills the songs with his rough but dignified world-view, where "Comfort and Crazy" sums up the love of his life, where ill-fated smugglers contemplate the weight of their mistakes from jail cells, and where grown men finally learn to mourn their fathers. Clark presents each precise universe with little to no fanfare. The rigors of his world do not suffer superfluousness or window dressing gladly. He simply inhabits them, thereby shifting the tectonic plates ever so slightly in our own day-to-day existence.
