In the fifth episode of Guitar Moves, we meet the legendary Cowboy Jack Clement, one of the greatest country western and rock and roll songwriters and producers of the 20th century.
“Cowboy” Jack Clement has been one of the most significant figures in country music for the past 50 years. The Memphis-born singer, songwriter, and record producer has been inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame, Rockabilly Hall of Fame, and Country Music Hall of Fame and was responsible for fostering young musicians such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley.
He has written and produced a number of country’s greatest hits that have been recorded by iconic stars such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Ray Charles, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Tom Jones, and U2.
The singer/songwriter has only released 2 solo albums throughout his career, “All I Want to Do in LIfe” in 1978 and “Guess Things Happen That Way” in 2004.
Guitar Moves, hosted by Matt Sweeney, is a show where the viewer gets an opportunity to sit in on a private, interesting, and hilarious conversation about guitars, music, life, and craft. During the season, Sweeney and his guests play through licks, riffs, and solos that inform their style, influence their playing, and define their sound.
