An American Dream: 4 Classic Albums 1978-1992 presents four essential albums by the Grammy Award-winning and alt-country legend GUY CLARK. Originally recorded for Warner Bros and Asylum, Guy Clark (1978), The South Coast of Texas (1981), Better Days (1983) and Boats to Build (1992) are earthy and reflective, full of the mature, polished country sounds that took him to a new audience. Clark is recognised as one of the greatest of all Texan singer / songwriters; as All Music stated: "Along with Townes Van Zandt, Clark is one of the most influential singer / songwriters of the Texas troubadour school". Throughout the 1980s other artists took Clark's songs into the country charts - Bobby Bare with New Cut Road, Ricky Skaggs with the #1 Heartbroke, the Highwaymen with Desperados Waiting for the Train, Rodney Crowell with She's Crazy For Leavin. Full of deeply moving songs and infused with Clark's elegant phrasing, An American Dream contains his own classic singles such as Fools for Each Other (Guy Clark), The Partner Nobody Chose (South Coast of Texas) and Homegrown Tomatoes (Better Days). This remarkable collection features contributions from a sterling cast of sessions players, including Albert Lee, Buddy Emmons, Rodney Crowell, Hank DeVito, Ricky Scaggs, Vince Gill, Rosanne Cash, Jerry Douglas, Brian Ahern and Emmylou Harris who sings duet vocals on I Don t Love You Much Do I (Boats to Build). With 40 tracks of superb audio quality, color booklet and detailed liner notes this is a must-have collection for all alt-country aficionados.

He is one of the very best singer-songwriters of whom I am aware
I heard Mr. Clark I can't remember how many years ago. I'm sorry that I never got to see him live. He is one of the very best singer-songwriters of whom I am aware! He will be sorely missed!

Great Songs, Great Singer
This is a terrific collection by an artist who's work I knew through covers by other singers. One of the best CD sets I've bought all year.

You can't miss when he performs his own material and these recordings are excellent.
Guy is among the top songwriters in his field. You can't miss when he performs his own material and these recordings are excellent.

He's the man, up there with Dylan and Young. Not nearly as popular as he deserves

Gute Kollektion
Zur Vervollständigung meiner Sammlung eine sehr willkommene Ausgabe, obwohl ich eine davon schon hatte. Neulinge sollten eher mit seinem Debutalbum anfangen, oder mit einem späteren Werk wie dem Livealbum Keepers. Diese Platten hier sind nicht seine allerbesten, die Produktion ist etwas zu poliert, 80er Jahre halt, schwierige Zeiten.
