The Last Gunfighter Ballad - Guy Clark and Waylon Jennings
Yesterday marked the anniversary of the death of one of America's great singer songwriters Guy Clark ( November 6th 1941 - May17th 2021). Poet and storyteller, many Irish people will be familiar with Dolores Keane's recording of, Immigrant Eyes or his much recorded and played classic hit, Desperados Waiting for a Train. But there were many more as well. I see from a wikipedia comment that he was known as the Fifth Highway Man and well deserved. One of my favourite tracks would be the 'Girsa' version of Immigrant Eyes but I picked the one above for a certain reason. Loaded by katson6 and with thanks. Visit the youtube site for the lyrics and comments.
