Track:Like Desperados Waitin' For The Train
Guy Clark is one of America's premier Songwriters. His hard-scrabble tales of life on the hard side ring with an authenticity that is at once harrowing yet hopeful. He has an eye for the telling detail and his poet's pen is closer to a doctor's scalpel, carving away the superfluous, cutting to the essence. His songs have been covered by a who's who of performers worldwide.
Jerry Jeff Walker performs Desperados Waitin' For The Train with a gritty realism that touches that space where my heart used to be

Another old favorite.
This one reached #43 in 1974.
Thanks again DMDM.
Nicely done, and more palatable than Guy. A great songwriter, not so much a great entertainer. I bought one of his CDs, and later donated it to the local library.
