2016 is turning out to be a year of incredible loss in the music industry. I thought the day Bowie died was going to be the worst, but I took Merle Haggard as a major blow. Then, came Prince, and now with the passing of Guy Clark it seems like this year can’t possibly get worse in this regard. I grew up on John Prine and Emmylou Harris and it seems right to let them cradle us during yet another industry loss. “Magnolia Wind” is one of my favorite Clark tunes, and these two do it a great deal of justice.
