Last night, we went to the Tabernacle (concert venue, former church) to see the Songwriters Tour featuring Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely & Guy Clark. It was awesome. These four great songwriters just sat on stage with 4 guitars and played for a solid two hours. They took turns playing and singing. First was Guy Clark, then Joe Ely, then John Hiatt, then Lyle Lovett. They did that 5 times, and then played a song together, then left the stage. After an encore, they did 5 more songs.
Amy and I have been Lyle Lovett fans for years. He introduced as to Guy Clark via Lyle's Step Inside This House album. Joe and John get a lot of play on KGSR in Austin, so we were familiar with them.
I think Amy and I are going to have to head out on a CD buying spree.

Love to hear Guy Clark sing "Randall Knife."
I love those Songwriter's Shows. Last year we went to one with country music songwriters - a carry over from the Alabama June Jam and it was phenomenal! I love the pure music - not drowned out by a lot of amplification, etc.
