When Guy Clark discusses the art and craft of song-writing, people listen. He has, after all, been writingsongs of uncommon quality for nearly four decades, songs like "L.A. Freeway," "Desperados Waiting For a Train," "The Randall Knife," and "Texas, 1947." "Somedays the Song Writes You" is the thirteenth recording by this songwriting legend.

Phenomenal Artist
I just listened to 10 hours of Guy Clark's music on a long car ride. I have to check myself when talking to friends. I want to tell them, "This Guy is great!", as if there is any other Guy that is any good.
Pleasant
Nice folksy country flare. Easy to kick back and just float with the lyrics and music.
Grateful for another record
Trite to say I know, but Guy Clark truly is a national treasure. I am grateful that he is still working at his craft, still writing songs, touring and producing new recordings. "Somedays.." is not among his very best efforts but it is fine work with a number of good songs and lots of good, relaxed musicianship. It is quiet, subdued - the product of someone who has seen a lot, done a lot, and knows a few things about what matters and what doesn't.
Great!
Guy Clark is a consistently impressive songwriter and he has been putting out amazing albums since the 70s. This latest effort is no different. Every song on "Somedays The Song Writes You" is a winner and Clark's rough, cigarette ravaged voice always accentuates the power of these songs.
Some days the cliches write themselves ...
If it wasn't for "Sometimes When We Touch, the Honesty's Too Much", Guy would have no competition for worst title ever. Probably seemed like inspiration at the time, but someone should have tugged his sleeve and let him know this was not a good idea long before it reached the recording studio.
