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


I was on Tubi last night and saw the above mentioned documentary, passed it up as it was a picture of a young Guy Clark and did not recognize him so I kept going until I realized the title was part of the lyrics of the great GC song and went back and watched. Wow, what a great 90 minutes. It was narrated by Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill and had a lot of back and forth with Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt Susanna Clark and others. These guys certainly preferred being true to their art more than being a star and gave a new meaning to The Starving Artist. Enjoy the music

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.
