A Cowboy's Debut
From the New York Times
Cowboy Jack Clement, the influential producer and songwriter of country music, will make his New York solo concert debut tomorrow at Joe's Pub. Hired at Sun Records by Sam Phillips in 1956, Mr. Clement wrote Johnny Cash's hit "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" and worked on pioneering records by Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich and Roy Orbison. He later produced classic albums by Charley Pride and Waylon Jennings, and even several tracks on U2's 1988 album "Rattle and Hum" (Island). The concert coincides with screenings of a new documentary, "Shakespeare Was a Big George Jones Fan: Cowboy Jack's Home Movies," at the TriBeCa Film Festival; its last showing is tonight at 7:15 at the Regal Battery Park Stadium 16.
