Guy Clark – Dublin Blues (30th Anniversary Edition, Limited Edition 'Dublin Blue' Vinyl)
Dublin Blues is often considered one of Guy Clark’s finest records—a masterclass in songwriting from a man revered for his poetic, plainspoken narratives. Released in 1995, it marked a late-career high point for Clark and remains a deeply personal and emotionally resonant album that captures the essence of American folk and country storytelling.
Clark’s delivery is world-weary but wise, filled with quiet dignity. His voice isn’t polished or flashy—it’s honest, raw, and rich with lived experience. The arrangements are sparse and intimate, often built around acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and the occasional steel guitar, allowing the lyrics to take centre stage.
Dublin Blues isn’t just one of Guy Clark’s best records—it’s one of the most beautifully human albums in the Americana and country canon. It’s understated, poignant, and timeless, with songs that feel like they’ve always existed.
