My Favorite Picture of You is simply a wonderful, balanced gem of an album from a masterful songwriter.
As a master wordsmith who believes in simplicity over all, he’s excavated the human heart, calloused pride and faltering dignity with a scalpel. On Picture, it’s all there.
Arrangements are simple, bluegrass-inflected and rich in acoustic textures. Warm and thick as a hayrick.
If it’s good advice you need, on how to feel and how to live with the mis-steps on your dance card, then Guy Clark's songbook is always a good place to turn to.
Always an understated and intimate performer, Clark is on the form of his life here.
Possibly his most personal album ... A great man still making great music.
