New offerings from Jack Clement and Flying Burrito Brothers

SHAKESPEARE WAS A BIG GEORGE JONES FAN: COWBOY JACK CLEMENT’S HOME MOVIES In Stores September 4

Starring… Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, Bono, and many more!

“One of the funniest and most touching music films that I've ever seen.”—Elvis Costello

Riding the trail between Monty Python and Blazing Saddles, this off-the-wall feature about Nashville’s legendary Cowboy Jack Clement boasts hilarious home movies and skits made with longtime friends Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Bono and many more. Producer/performer/artist Cowboy Jack has recorded Elvis Presley and U2. He’s been an Arthur Murray dance instructor, a slasher-film producer, best friend to Johnny Cash, Sam Phillips’ right-hand man, a US Marine, and he discovered Jerry Lee Lewis, Charley Pride and Townes Van Zandt. And Cowboy Jack always took home movies.
“Jack would like to make a circus out of life,” says Kris Kristofferson, who appears in the film.
The Grammy-nominated filmmaking team of Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville have done just that with this show. Shakespeare romps through private rehearsals and rowdy sound stages, stands next to John Prine and Waylon Jennings as they create songs, and captures unlikely stars goofing around in unlikely roles.
In his ode to Jack, Johnny Cash hearkens, “Come along and ride this brain.”
Shakespeare Was A Big George Jones Fan will be available on DVD in stores September 4, and will be broadcast on PBS stations nationwide beginning July 2007 (check local listings). The film was screened at a select number of film festivals in 2005 such as New York’s Tribeca Film Festival, the Melbourne International Film Festival and the Nashville Film Festival, where it received multiple awards.
Cowboy Jack isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The host of “The Cowboy Jack Clement Show” on Sirius Outlaw Country (Saturdays from 2 pm – 6 pm EST) was a recent artist in residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame, and he received the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. His home, The Cowboy Arms Hotel And Recording Spa, is always open to his friends, who drop by at all hours. With all his rooms wired for recording and filming, and a swimming pool in the yard, visitors know that the coffee’s always on and a good time is ready to be had.
