Country Music
Country (also called country and western) is a genre of popular music that originated in the Southern and Southwestern United States in the early 1920s. It primarily derives from blues, church music such as Southern gospel and spirituals, old-time, and American folk music forms including Appalachian, Cajun, Creole, and the cowboy Western music styles of Hawaiian, New Mexico, Red Dirt, Tejano, and Texas country. Country music often consists of ballads and honky-tonk dance tunes with generally simple form, folk lyrics, and harmonies often accompanied by string instruments such as electric and acoustic guitars, steel guitars (such as pedal steels and dobros), banjos, and fiddles as well as harmonicas. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. The term ''country music'' gained popularity in the 1940s in preference to '' hillbilly music'', with "country music" being used today to describe many styles and subgenres. It came to encomp ...

Cold Dog Soup (album)
''Cold Dog Soup'' is an album by the American singer-songwriter Guy Clark, released in 1999. Production The album was recorded in Nashville, with Clark's touring musicians; Emmylou Harris added vocal overdubs. Critical reception AllMusic wrote that "the tragedy 'Water Under the Bridge' feels a lot like the folk-blues of Bob Dylan's 'Ballad of Hollis Brown', and in its own way is just as harrowing, with the mandolin fills floating around the guitar lines." '' No Depression'' thought that "the title track paints a scene at a Los Angeles bar where Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits played gigs in the late ’60s—a delicately surreal portrait of literary ferment a la 1920s Paris or Secessionist Vienna set in Mission Beach." The ''Chicago Tribune'' stated that "the album features finely detailed story songs such as 'Sis Draper', about an Arkansas fiddler, and 'Red River', which details the Clarks' ancestors move from Kentucky to West Texas."

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was the second album that he recorded in 1972, and a follow-up to '' High, Low and In Between''.

It was produced by Jack Clement, with Eggers telling Van Zandt biographer John Kruth in 2007, "Jack produced the basic tracks to 'No Lonesome Tune' and 'Honky Tonkin'. I cut all the basic tracks to everything else and mixed it. The strings on the 'Silver Ships of Andilar' were arranged by Bergen White, one of the few black musicians in Nashville who happened to be the top string arranger in those days." According to the book ''To Live's To Fly: The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt'', Eggers had wanted to overdub drums on "Pancho and Lefty" but Van Zandt vetoed the idea.
