Truckload of Art – The Music of Terry Allen
Hey Listeners,
Toda I am giving Terry Allen the Cause-and-Effect treatment. Terry Allen is having a late career moment. He’s been on tour, he’s got a brand-new record, and Brendan Greaves’ authorized biography Truckload of Art continues to receive accolades. I had a chance to catch Terry twice at Big Ears in March and I have just finished reading Truckload of Art.
I think he is one of the most fascinating musicians I have ever read about and I am anxious to share his story and his music tomorrow. While we’ll focus on his music we’ll touch on his work as an artist – drawing, paintings, and sculpture as well as his performance art and written works. Terry is truly a renaissance man in the art world. Admired by many including David Byrne and a huge influence on Texas musicians like Butch Hancock, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Guy Clark, Robert Earle Keene to name a few.
Enjoy!
