“What do you do when your heroes die?” Gill sings in the song, a track off his upcoming album ‘Okie’
The first time Gill ever performed “Ain’t Nothin’ Like a Guy Clark Song,” which appears on Gill’s upcoming album, he was at a campfire tribute to the late songwriter in Santa Fe. Clark’s cadre of old friends like Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris,, and Lyle Lovett had all gathered at Terry Allen’s ranch for an evening of Clark songs and stories.
“It was beyond terrifying,” Gill says of that night. “Everyone’s saying, ‘What Guy Clark song are you gonna sing?’ And me going, ‘Well, I wrote one for him.’ Amongst all those songwriters? It could have reeked of complete arrogance. It took all the courage I had in the world to sing this song I had just written.”
Vince Gill had listened to Guy Clark since high school, where his band at the time covered songs like “L.A. Freeway” and “Desperadoes Waiting for a Train.” He first met Clark when he opened for the singer at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in 1976. “I was always so drawn to the way he told stories,” says Gill. “It felt like home. There’s a really deep, deep, deep connection that I had with Guy.”
When Gill recorded “Ain’t Nothin’ Like a Guy Clark Song,” the first person he played the song for was Rodney Crowell. “He had big tears rolling down his face,” Gill says. “He said, ‘Don’t you die on me.’ Rodney and Guy were like a couple of brothers to me, a big brother and a bigger brother.” “What do you do when your heroes die?” Gill asks in the song’s final verse. “Man, you let ‘em roll/you let ‘em fly.”Okie
