The album he had prior had a great Quarantimes current world song called Nervous and a swell Hey Joe cover.....Tim is good
This series with Tim O’Brien has been the absolute best!! The guy has such wonderful stories and such a humane delivery. Thanks Otis!
He's an intellectual, a scholar of the music I love. Appalachia, East Texas, Austin music.
Saw Guy Clark with Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely, and John Hiatt at the Center for the Arts in Louisville. They sat in a semi-circle and played acoustic, took turns singing their own songs, playing along with each other and telling stories about how each song came into being. It was a great show and so informal...almost like they were sitting in your living room. Guy was clearly the senior artist on the stage and you could tell the others had great respect for him.
Sounds like a great show man I like those guys.
Saw the same show up in Kelowna British Columbia, Lyle was the best I thought, but all were fantastic
@@waynemcconnell8131 If I Had A Boat , Lyle does do a great job 🤓😎✌️🤟
Back 23 years ago I walked into a Hasting's Music looking to see what new music had come out for the week. I was always on the hunt for new stuff to listen to. I didn't see anything that caught my interest so I asked. the dept. mgr. if he had any recommendations. He told me he had been listening to one album in particular and really liked. I told him I was game and he brought me Tim O'Brien & Darrell Scott's 'Real Time'. I bought it unheard and was blown away. For me, it was the right music at the right time. I miss those days of having a trusted resource at the local record store who would turn you on to new stuff that expanded your horizons. I still love that album.
Thanks for these Tim interviews. One of my musical heroes. As is Hartford, i know the two of them were buds. Hoping one of these Tim O clips is gonna be about Hartford!
I love listening to these great stories. What great history. All these players are the back bone of our music. God Bless them.
Great first-hand accounting of Guy Clark by Tim. Wonderful stories. He makes it sound like he's talking personally to you about something not generally known about the artist. I came late to Guy Clark. Tragic life.
Lost his wife to cancer, then his son Travis to an aortic aneurysm about a year after Guy passed away. I'm glad Guy didn't have to see that happen. That would've taken a lot out of his spirit. So many artists have lost children -- Judy Collins, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Lisa Marie Presley, Nick Cave & so many others.
Guy Clark was an incredibly good songwriter. Probably had many, many songs still inside him. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Thanks again, Tim & Otis.
Tim, I’m living on Cape Breton Island, off the east coast of Nova Scotia. The Appalachian mountain range ends just short of here. There’s a strong Irish, Scottish, and English gene pool, so a Gaelic flavour to music. A musician friend of mine came in the house all excited one day, in the 90’s.He had a Tim O’Brien cd. Shamefully, I hadn’t heard of you, but he sure had.😊
"We're all in the check-out line" - if that ain't already the title of a song, it should be.
Who doesn't love Guy Clark's music? Crazy people! So nice that T.O'B got to connect with Guy. How kind to do those things. Got to see T.O'B at Strawberry festival in Northern California, probably 20 years ago. Amazing artist and so approachable. My oldest daughter was about 10 or 11 at the time and he allowed us to visit with him and sing a tune with him. I'm sure he wouldn't even remember but my daughter who is now, 32 (next month) remembers it so very well. One of her fondest memories.
I only knew of Guy Clark through listening to Lyle Lovett years ago. I did see him on a PBS roundtable of Texas songwriters, and was blown away and jnspired. A lot of talent on that stage, and some great sings and stories.
Thank you for these stories, Otis 🙏🏻
Be good to you 🤍💛
Great chat. Thanks to both of you.
Loving These stories...
Thank you Otis and Tim!
Tim just heard this interview, love the comment "and this is where i live" just know, seeing you at Kent Stage years years ago, i'm 72 now, was by far THE best live music event of my time on this plain. thank you, Safe Home if'n you know what that means
Thank you Otis for doing these, always love watching them and learning.
Thanks for reminding me of the greatness of both Guy Clark and Tim O'Brien!
The Nashville funnel was an interesting analogy. The Tim talks have been great.
I was driving from Florida to ft worth
And passin thru Dallas I heard on the radio
that guy was playin the sons of Hermann hall in deep ellum.
I was early and walked in around 5:30
And guy was standing there and asked me if I ever met the great Texas woman who ran the place, jo Nicodemus, she made us cheeseburgers, and I started playing there once a week for over 16 years, saw guy there several times after.
The ol settlers festival I worked backstage taking care of all of the artists in bluegrass and newgrass, whatta lucky guy
Tim is a likable sort, I can relate with a lot of his stories. Some of my favorite Bluegrass Bands came from the Boulder area: Hot Rize, Front Range, and Leftover Salmon.
The Dark is one of my favorite albums - I may still have the CD but I did happen to download it the other day. I also have your Grandpa Walked A Picketline album, Otis - great job!
Ever since I saw the O’boys in 1992 Tim has been one of my favorites. He is an extremely prolific songwriter, as well as a master musician. He is definitely on that list of the great ones. I encourage anyone to listen to anything he's ever done.
I moved to Boulder in 1979. I had a buddy that knew either Tim or Pete Wernick. I think one or both lived in Niwot at the time. For some reason we stopped by one of their homes and I met them and said hi. I didn't know who they hell they were. My buddy described their local band so I went one night at a club in Boulder and got exposed to Hot Rize but really enjoyed Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers. Had a chance to see them a another time or two locally before they were off to see the world. Real nice guys.

I love Tim's music and he's so modest!
Ah man, Tim is so unnecessarily but endearingly modest. Good luck to you Tim and to you Otis for these interviews and your Saturday sessions
awesome! I truly love the Irish/Appalachia connection, which I had recognized but never had confirmed (until now) how true it is.
Did you ever see Guy Clark live? Did you get to meet him?
Saw him at MerleFest couple times - once with Steve Earle and the last time with his son Travis on Bass
Saw him play half a dozen times, but the best memory of Guy was when I saw him play Dark as a Dungeon at a campfire at Suwannee Springfest.
First time I saw Guy was at the Ark in Ann Arbor. The opening act was the Dixie Chicks. Next time I saw him I mentioned this as he was autographing a shirt for me, and said, “ I wonder what became of them”. He said, “I think they sold a record or two”. It was like a chin level fastball. Don’t smart off to the legends.
Saw him and Verlon in Baton Rouge at the Red Dragon Listening Room . Saw other greats there also Steve Young. Great place cook for you byob. Guy rolled a lot that day also
Love Tim O'Brien, and Guy Clark. . . and John Hartford. When the moon and stars line up . . . perfect.
I loved listening and learning from Tim, he speaks the truth. Thanks Otis
Fantastic interview,as usual ❤️😎
Cookin' dinner for Guy.
That sounds like a song right there.
Tim O’Brien great artist and singer.
Whenever I’m homesick, I put on Guy and/Townes, and I feel better 🤠
existing aroudn the edges...story of my life...love love love
Enjoyed this! You have a treasure trove, Otis.
Yes, yes, yes; make the happiest and most beautiful faithful life you can while on earth.
Love these stories.
that worry b gone vibe can make any one sleepy jet lagged travelled or sober or whatever
Great guy. And nice head of hair!
Perfect topic for either Guy Clark or … you guessed it … Mark Knopfler 😅
Love this story...Larry Kirwan from Black 47 wrote a lovely song about the Irish fighting for Mexico (San Patricio Brigade)
Great video Otis!
Way cool Otis!
In the 70’s me being a rock and roll hippie I always had Willie Nelson and Guy Clark among Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and the like
Saw Guy a few times at Merlefest…
I saw him once there. I think it was in ‘02. He played early. I think it was 10am and the Red Stick Ramblers followed. I’m from Baton Rouge and love the Ramblers almost as much as I love Guy
Way back when he smoked Vantage cigarettes-- the kind with a hollow filter for some reason. By the end of the night he was the only one with smokes so everytime I bummed one from him I'd say, "Let me get another one of those buttholes from you."
“If a bomb dropped on this building,Nashville would stay exactly the same”😅😅
Can you please ask Tim O'Brian, if Guy Clark ever talked about an old time Metis fiddle player named Andy Dejarlis?
Darrel Scott and Tim O’Brien great duo….
What song did Tim O Brian write for Garth Brooks if any?
The Crossing is a great record.
Indeed. Probably my favorite recording from the entire decade of the '90s.
❤
Did you see where Bobby Osborn died ? And Jesse mcreynolds died ? 2 great bluegrass pickers.
