The Memorial Day show just might end up being a memorial tribute to all the artists we've lost in the past year. Lord knows we've lost quite a few.

Astonishing songwriting skills + polished performer. Hurts to lose these guys.

Glad you guys are enjoying the Tribute Hour. Guy Clark was a helluva great live performer. I had the good fortune to see him a number of times. Never saw Lonnie Mack, sadly.

I'm a huge JJ Cale fan, and this sort of stuff is right up my alley. Actually, JJ Cale is my absolute favorite, EVER!

God bless Guy Clark-
My parents wore those first 2 records out in the mid 70s-
Those songs are heavy shit for little kid.
