Sitting With Gianluca

Interviews and informed portraits of contemporary American musicians with our stateside correspondent Gianluca Tramontana (in temporary and voluntary exile in Marseille). This week: Gianluca discusses songwriting icon Guy Clark's groundbreaking debut LP, Old No. 1, with Peter Blackstock who wrote a book on the recording to celebrate the album's 50th anniversary. Guy Clark was at the centre of a '70s Nashville songwriting scene that included Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle and Texan Jerry Jeff Walker that ushered in a grittier, road-weary type of roots music. Clark’s Old No. 1 rewrote the rules of Nashville songwriting and has become a go-to source for artists looking for songs to cover for the last 50 years. [Repeats Tuesday 12pm.]
