Still got a whole lotta Lubbock left in me…
I have always thought that Terry Allen’s Lubbock (On Everything) was one of the greatest compilations ever created. There’s no doubt in my mind that Lubbock inspired Allen as well as too many other artists to mention in some way or another. William Clark Green is a perfect example of that.
Growing up 117 miles to the south my musical taste blew down from Lubbock like a dust storm , every time the wind blows, which is pretty often out here in West Texas. The mixed cultural influences of farmers and ranchers , the oil men, the money men, and those who will put in a hard days work to keep it all drilling…
My brother lives in Lubbock a loyal alumnus of the Texas Tech University. He went to school there and never left. My parents just moved up there. The medicine and the food and all that Lubbock offers. It’s the big city life for the ones who don’t like the big city.
William Clark Green says it perfectly in this song..: a song about where his humble beginnings came from.
Guns up
