Just a general comment about Rodney Crowell. I'm a 65 year old Canadian woman going through dialysis waiting for a transplant. Hours at dialysis leaves me listening to old tunes. I'm on a Rodney Crowell kick, watching his old videos What a gorgeous talented man with a smile, God that smile. I'm sad we all have to age and get sick but here's to the good old days
Completely agree. I was at Arlen Studios for performances that were happening there during SXSW several years ago and ended up sitting on a couch next to Rodney. I was so awed by him it took me what seemed like forever just to say hi because he was sitting there so rigid in his outfit he'd put on for his set which was coming up. To tell you the truth, it made me kinda nervous. But when I finally got the courage to talk to him and tell him I'd booked his daughter Chelsea for an event a couple Sx's previous to that one, his face lit up, a kind twinkle in his eye and he indulged me, a humble music journalist for a few minutes and we chatted. He is, sincerely one of the nicest musicians I've met in Texas (and there are a LOT of nice folks here). Just a gem of a human being besides being one helluva songwriter. ❤
Thanks Tamara, I have lived for many years in the desert of west Tx after leaving Austin/Spicewood. 23 yrs ago. I grew up in Austin in the 70-80's and all the awesome mostly Tx music that was alive back then. Called the Third Coast because our music from all our talented musicians never really fit into the east and west coast style of the music business. Your film was a deeply felt product that touches many hearts. Fine work, Bravo. Every time I drive thru Monahans Tx I think of Guy.
I was raised in Kermit and got schooled in San Marcos. Long live Armadillo World Headquarters. Taught senior English at KHS for years and Wink too. Live in Colorado now and for the last ten years...play "hippie music" downtown six or seven nights a week in summer. I bet you knew Bill Ervin, my cousin. Nice saying hello to you...and these people in and mentioned mentioned in the vid are heroes to me.
I'm a real Guy Clark fan though I did not realize it till about 2010 when I zeroed in on Guy being the writer of Jerry Jeff's "Desperados Waiting for a Train", "Let Him Roll", "LA Freeway" and several more that were all actually my favorites of Jerry Jeff and most of which I met back in 74-75. Thanks for all the work ya'll did in getting the history out there and hopefully, I'll get a chance to watch the whole movie someday.
I was so fortunate in seeing Rodney Crowell Monday night [ 10/17/22 * WORD FOR WORD TOUR ] @ the intimate Globe Theater in Bertram, TX. He spoke of Guy with an opulent regard, honor & a mighty fondness. And seemingly there is a circle of friends that feel the same way. In the search of looking for GC's music I began the spiral down the rabbit hole, stumbling across this gem. I am now feeling that I can't get enough of him, along with that bunch of musicians. Once my check arrives @ the beginning of the month, I am going to allow myself the pleasure of renting yall's movie, I am so excited to see it. Tamara thank you in advance for such remarkable piece of art. Aren't we blessed in the fact music goes on ?
I'm a retired pilot and saw Mr. Crowell several times on my plane. He is quiet and polite. New here, I had to research Guy Clark. Wikipedia: Guy Charles Clark (November 6, 1941 - May 17, 2016)[1] was an American folk and country singer-songwriter and luthier.[2][3] He released more than 20 albums, and his songs have been recorded by other artists, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffett, Kathy Mattea, Lyle Lovett, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Wariner, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton. He won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album: My Favorite Picture of You.
Susanna had the ability to steal your heart with her smile. And you'd just know that by some cosmic power her eyes could see directly into the depths of your soul.
I love Rodney Crowell, he’s the best. I know about Guy and Susanna Clark from Rodney. We saw him right before Covid lockdown and again this year in May.❤❤❤
So weird how Townes and John Denver's lives were so similar. Both were born about the same age, both died about the same age. Both had substance and marital problems. Both were extremely talented. Both were extremely sensitive. Both were probably Bi-Polar. Both were incredible songwriters, Both were great singers. Both were great acoustic guitarists, Both were born into prominent families. Both played music that wasn't quite folk but not quite country. Both had high IQs. Both were natural leaders who other musicians wanted to emulate. I guess you could call John and Townes spiritual soulmates.
Hilarious! I got to see Guy Clark one time at Merlefest in the early 2000’s. The Red Stick Ramblers followed Guy (I’m from Baton Rouge). Saw Doc and Vasser and Rowan and Bela and Scaggs and many campfire musicians and had a bunch of fun. Guy Clark was the highlight for me 🙂
ASHLEY MCBRYDE HAS OFTEN SAID GUY CLARK WAS HER INSPIRATION! I KNOW SHE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY OF THE VIDEOS ON THIS PAGE. AND, I THANK YOU ALSO ALSO ALSO
Me and my life long best friend "Bubba" was at a Harlen Howard Birthday Bash one year. Steve Earle played that year and Kristofferson was there too. So me and Bubba were in the back parking lot, sharing a joint, next I know Guy Clark and Harold Shed joined in. So we smoked two joints. I had known Steve E. for years and the only time I had met Guy was at a Bluebird Show that he, Steve and Townes did. But it was like smoking a doobie with and old friend.
Hi Tamara, just found this on TH-cam. Excellent. Rodney was in my town in Oregon recently but sadly I was not. I’d hoped to slip him a note about my connection to the Clark family. Thanks for putting this out. And everything else ! Joe
Aww, I think not - they loved Guy. They were laughing at the funeral director being so crestfallen that it wasn't going to be an expensive funeral, just the simple funeral with dear friends that Guy wanted.

Rodney Crowell is an absolute national treasure. One of the greatest songwriters ever.

Yep. He is brilliant!

One of my all-time favorite artists. One of the greatest singers of pop music history.
I am still in awe of Guy's songwriting and style, and I've been listening since the 70's.
I'm a real Guy Clark fan though I did not realize it till about 2010 when I zeroed in on Guy being the writer of Jerry Jeff's "Desperados Waiting for a Train", "Let Him Roll", "LA Freeway" and several more that were all actually my favorites of Jerry Jeff and most of which I met back in 74-75.

I could listen to these stories forever. The true lives of an amazing group of people.

Rodney is freaking awesome

I’m not surprised you said he’s polite. I love the humanity in his songs and his unassuming manner. He’s one of my absolute heroes.
I sat next to him on a flight from Nashville to Austin where was playing a show. Super nice guy. So honest and candid.
I think one of Guy's best songs ever is "The Cape". So fun, so true. My cape is Jesus . Just keep living your dream. Thanks Guy!
Can you imagine being the person who could always have the drop on Rodney Crowell? Wow.
Susanna had the ability to steal your heart with her smile. And you'd just know that by some cosmic power her eyes could see directly into the depths of your soul.
The song "My Favorite Picture of You" is absolute perfection...haunting, timeless perfection.
I love that there is a clip in the film of Susanna talking, smiling, laughing, captured by Rodney Crowell. It shows how captivating she was.
I think Rodney like Townes was in love w her
Great interview Tamara. Thank you so much.

Beautiful ⚘
well chosen words, spoken without encryption. Mighty fine.

What a great movie!!😊

Can we please buy this please, watched it twice when i rented it, one of the most real things ive ever seen
Guy Clark and my mom passed away within hours of each other...that was a hard day
Fantastic interview, thanks. Can't wait to see the movie

Rodney Crowell.
'Don't get me started!'
Hi Tamara, just found this on TH-cam. Excellent. Rodney was in my town in Oregon recently but sadly I was not. I’d hoped to slip him a note about my connection to the Clark family. Thanks for putting this out. And everything else ! Joe
Rodney came from Crosby, we learnead dont believe shit till you have lived it.
Have not seen it yet. Wil now.
Shit gonna make me cry.
A nine hour conversation with Steve Earl = 8:55 of Steve talking.
LOLOLOLOLOL... you definitely got that math right 🎯
8:55:59* you mean
Holy shit. Should have collected a bunch of juniper & taken him out to the Jemez & lit a bonfire.
What movie are they referring to ?
Without Getting Killed or Caught. Stream at withoutgettingkilledorcaught.com
There's a description of the video that explains is all
All I know about these folks are interviews but Townes is a complete POS in every single one I've heard so far 🤷♀️
Totally disrespectful of Guy. Laughing at his death...sad
Aww, I think not - they loved Guy. They were laughing at the funeral director being so crestfallen that it wasn't going to be an expensive funeral, just the simple funeral with dear friends that Guy wanted.
