Clark sings of his favorite picture
Wednesday, April 17, 2013 – "My Favorite Picture Of You," the first studio album in four years from Guy Clark, is set for a July 23 release on Dualtone Records.
Clark co-wrote 10 of the 11 tracks. The album's title track was written for Susanna Clark, Guy's wife of 40 years, and a successful songwriter in her own right, who passed away in 2012.
The cover depicts Clark, slightly blurred in the background, holding up an old photo of his beloved from the 1970s. According to Clark, Susanna walked in and found he and friend, the late Townes Van Zandt drunk, again. She stormed out of the house, which is when the Polaroid was taken.
In 2004, Clark was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He received the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and in 2013,, he received the Academy of Country Music's Poet's Award, along with Hank Williams.

The way he digs deeply into the one woman's complicated motives during "Rain in Durango" quickly puts that notion to rest. ...
