This One's For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark - Various Artists (2-Audio CD's - 2011) - Import

Houston's Icehouse Music will release This One's For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark on December 6, 2011 to celebrate Clark's 70th birthday. The collection was lovingly produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Tamara Saviano (Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster)--who is also working with Clark on his definitive biography--and frequent Clark co-writer Shawn Camp ("Sis Draper," "Magnolia Wind"). The tribute includes 30 tracks by 33 Americana artists who are friends and colleagues of Clark or who have been influenced by his remarkable compositions. The collection was mixed and mastered by Austin engineer Fred Remmert. "Guy's songs are literature," says Lyle Lovett, among the venerable artists who eagerly gathered for This One's For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark. "The first time I heard Guy Clark, I thought it made everything I'd heard up to that point something other than a song. His ability to translate the emotional into the written word is extraordinary." "Guy Clark is like a dancer with the way he talks and a photographer with the way he writes," noted Texas indie artist Terri Hendrix says. "He's the epitome of American songwriting." For This One's For Him: A Tribute to Guy Clark, artists brought two key instruments: a guitar and a profound reverence. Individual investments quickly emerged. Perhaps most notably, Gill claims a haunting bond. "Giant tears were falling all over my guitar as we were playing," the country star remembers about serving as guitarist on Clark's original "Randall Knife" recording nearly thirty years ago. "My dad was a lawyer, and he died when I was forty. Guy and I are tied at the hip through that song." "Let's give her a good go and make ol' Guy proud of us..." said Rodney Crowell kicking off the collection on the first day as he readied to record "That Old Time Feeling." The double CD set was recorded live in studio with a core house band that included multi-instrumentalist Shawn Camp, guitarist Verlon Thompson and pianist Jen Gunderman. The tribute was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and Austin, Texas with a rotating cast of other musicians including multi-instrumentalist Lloyd Maines, bass players Glenn Fukunaga, Mike Bub and Glenn Worf, and drummers Kenny Malone and Larry Atamanuik.
