Media Type: CD Artist: CLARK,GUY Title: DUBLIN BLUES Street Release Date:
04/04/1995 Domestic Genre: COUNTRY Guy Clark is a slow worker.
Dublin Blues is only his seventh album since his debut, “Old No. 1,” appeared
in ’75. The silver-haired Texan has praised the patient, meticulous process of
hands-on craftmanship in songs like “The Carpenter,” “Boats to Build,” and
“Jack of All Trades,” and obviously applies the same approach to his own
songwriting. The time is well spent, for this batch of songs resembles fine
furniture; the words and music fit together so precisely that there’s nary a
seam nor a wobble. Clark’s limitations are the same as ever. The cramped
dimensions of his vocal tone and range make Johnny Cash sound like Luciano
Pavarotti, and his easy-going, clip-clop midtempo rhythms are too unvarying
for their own good. Admiring friends such as Nanci Griffith, Emmylou Harris,
Kathy Mattea, and Sam Bush make the harmonies surrounding Clark especially
rich on “Dublin Blues,” and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott (the subject of an earlier
Clark song) sings a duet vocal on “Hangin’ Your Life on the Wall,” a defiant
anthem on old folks who refuse to slow down. The heart of any Guy Clark album,
though, is the writing, and the writing on Dublin Blues is the work of a
dogged perfectionist. –Geoffrey Himes
