A most excellent songwriter aka "The Craftsman", built songs as well as guitars.

Read a review of one of his shows recently, with the author suggesting you get out and see him now, because he wasnt looking too good.

“LA Freeway” is a classic. Jimmy Buffett’s cover of “Boats to Build” with Alan Jackson is a favorite too.

Guy Clark - Stuff that works

[smokingfrog]

It is here in this cozy workshop in the basement of his Nashville home that Clark writes almost all of his music, and handcrafts traditional flamenco-style guitars.

"When you're a kid, things are bigger than life, and when you're remembering and conjuring up those memories, they're even bigger. But, Monahans, Texas, that's some pretty serious hard country in West Texas. It took a certain breed of people to even be able to survive there. For example, my grandmother, she had her leg amputated on the kitchen table when she was twelve years old with no anesthetic. [...] She started a hotel and bootlegged whiskey. The wildest stuff you could imagine. [...] There's some pretty incredible characters who influenced my life forever, but I don't think my experience is unique. I think that's happened to everybody. All you want to do is express it or write about it. Or lie about it."

-- Guy Clark
