Guy Clark/Slaid Cleaves

Saw Guy Clark with Verlon Thompson last night at BB Kings in NYC. Slaid Cleaves opened. It was a great show. Slaid played a solid set. I bought his CD when it first came out, enjoyed it. As usual for me, its always fun to see and hear someone in stripped down mode- two guitars and vocals. Then, of course, the GREAT Guy Clark came out with Verlon to his right. Guy is pure grace and class, real, down to earth. Even with a nasty cold, he put on a great show. Verlon did a few tunes in the middle - great player, and songwriter as well; humble. (Who wouldn't be standing next to Guy.) The night was truly inspirational. I felt privileged to be in the audience.
