Dublin Blues is an album by the American singer-songwriter Guy Clark, released in 1995. Clark promoted the album by touring with son, Travis, as his bass player. It has recently been remastered (2023) and an extra track has been discovered. It will hopefully be released soon.
Production
Rodney Crowell cowrote "Stuff That Works". Nanci Griffith and Emmylou Harris contributed harmony vocals.
Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly praised the "tongue-and-groove meditations on life and love." The Salt Lake Tribune noted that "Clark can take ordinary conversation and turn it into a song—an underrated skill that's not as easy as it appears." The Indianapolis Star determined that "powerful poetic phrases, impressionable and hummable melodies, stunning storytelling and a living-room intimacy don't even come close to describing this collection."
