    Touching and thoughtful, these 16 tracks are tended with the same care Clark brought to his beautiful storytelling. [Jun 2019, p.111]

    A record that’s wonderfully represents Clark as the songwriter he was without turning the focus to Earle and the Dukes.

    Earle has made a gorgeous tribute, every bit as good, maybe even a shade better than TOWNES.

    Across 16 tracks, the 64-year-old Virginia native and his ace band largely play it straight, and the album leaps with energy and celebration.

    The execution isn't quite as strong as Earle's good intentions on Guy, though if he wanted to either remind old fans on the greatness of Clark's songs or convince new ones to explore his body of work, he makes his case will eloquence and affection.

    What Steve Earle and the Dukes make clear with Guy is that these songs are old friends as well, somehow truer and purer today than when they were written by one of the masters.
