Reviews
"Take the dean of the Texas school of songwriting; mix in his wife, Susanna, an ethereal painter and an accomplished songwriter herself; add in their tragic friendship with Townes van Zandt, a tortured genius; and tell it all through the eyes of their friend, Tamara Saviano, one of the most gifted of Nashville chroniclers. With that, you have this book, a haunting account of the fiercely independent Guy Clark, and the '70s songwriting scene that swirled around him, hoping to find its own way to the other side of the sky." -- Alanna Nash, author of The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley, "Detailed, enlightening account. She maneuvers the story elegantly from biography to memior." -- The Wall Street Journal, "reads like an Americana version of Jack Kerouac's On the Road . . . If this were a record, it'd be my record not of just the year, but of the decade."--No Depression, "I can see every picture and every character Guy wrote about in his songs. I can't wait to read the book and fill in the missing pieces of my friend who I knew for 40 years" -Vince Gill, "Saviano captures the full story of an extraordinary life and talent, told with both an unwavering honesty and loving admiration"--Austin Chronicle, "Tamara Saviano hasn't just written the definitive biography of the definitive Texas singer-songwriter. She goes deep in unfolding the intimate relationship between Guy Clark, his wife and creative muse Susanna Clark, and their best friend, the other defintive Texas singer-songwriter, Townes Van Zandt." -Joe Nick Patoski author of Willie Nelson: An Epic Life and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Caught in the Crossfire ., "Saviano has patiently compiled a must-have edition to the library of any actual or amateur musicologist, and a compelling story of love, friendship, tragedy and cultural magic for the rest of us."--Lone Star Book Reviews, "sent me back to my stereo and weeks of Guy Clark songs. It's that good of a book, and he's that good of a songwriter. . . . Highly recommended." -- Pacific Rim Review of Books

"Detailed, enlightening account. She maneuvers the story elegantly from biography to memoir."-- The Wall Street Journal "Any well-written biography will lay out accomplishments and milestones accurately, but only the exceptional ones transport you deep inside their subject's world, so that when you put the book down it takes you a minute to re-adjust."-- Mojo, For more than forty years, Guy Clark wrote and recorded unforgettable songs. His lyrics and melodies paint indelible portraits of the people, places, and experiences that shaped him. Music industry insider Tamara Saviano chronicles the story of this legendary artist from her unique vantage point as his former publicist and producer.
