Terry Allen: Texas Artist and Songwriter
The other day I met an old guitar picker who got to talking about Terry Allen and playing his songs. Allen is from West Texas and is probably best known among country music fans for the song "Amarillo Highway." Allen's concept album, Juarez, has been called the greatest country concept album of all time, right there beside Willie Nelson's Red-Headed Stranger. Allen is also an accomplished artist and his work is displayed in places like the Met and MoMA. He was friends with Guy Clark, and one of Clark's final wishes was for Allen to use his ashes in a sculpture.
