More Info:
Guy Clark's debut from 1975 is one of the all time classic country singer-songwriter records. By the time of its release the Texas native had been shopping his tunes in Nashville for a few years and the songs from Old No. 1 were already well aged and often covered. Regardless, though Clark considers himself more a songwriter than a recording artist, nobody holds a candle to these performances. From the rollicking Texas swing of opener 'Rita Ballou' to the finger picked heartbreak of closer 'Let Him Roll' there is not a stinker to be found. Features help from Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell and a young Steve Earle.
