Clark, Tillis, Morgan dish out new discs
Tuesday, July 23, 2013 – Guy Clark, Pam Tillis and Lorri Morgan release new music today.
Clark, a Texas singer/songwriter, is out with "My Own Picture of You," his first disc in four years. The 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.
Tillis and Morgan teamed up to form Grits and Glamour, their first release together. Both children of well-known country performers (the late George Morgan and Mel Tillis), Tillis and Morgan sing together on six of the songs with each having four songs on their own. They co-produced the disc as well.
