Cold Dog Soup is an album by the American singer-songwriter Guy Clark, released in 1999. [4]
The album was recorded in Nashville, with Clark's touring musicians; Emmylou Harris added vocal overdubs. [5]
AllMusic wrote that "the tragedy 'Water Under the Bridge' feels a lot like the folk-blues of Bob Dylan's 'Ballad of Hollis Brown', and in its own way is just as harrowing, with the mandolin fills floating around the guitar lines." [2] No Depression thought that "the title track paints a scene at a Los Angeles bar where Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits played gigs in the late ’60s—a delicately surreal portrait of literary ferment a la 1920s Paris or Secessionist Vienna set in Mission Beach." [6] The Chicago Tribune stated that "the album features finely detailed story songs such as 'Sis Draper', about an Arkansas fiddler, and 'Red River', which details the Clarks' ancestors move from Kentucky to West Texas."
