COWBOY JACK CLEMENT ~





Cowboy Jack Clement
April 5, 1931 ~ August 8, 2013


One colossal loss to music, planet earth, stars above, and all things that are miserable about living put into many terrific and often joyous songs. This man did it. One more of the ones we have lost from the original American frontier.






“I’ve got a bunch of people who say I’m a genius,” Mr. Clement, known to everyone in Nashville and beyond as Cowboy Jack, once said. “That don’t make me a genius. But you’ve got to be pretty smart to get all them people to say that on cue.”
