Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown: But Don't Fence Me In
Geoffrey Himes, Downbeat, April 1992
WHEN CLARENCE "Gatemouth" Brown visited Washington, D.C., recently, the 67-year-old Texan presided over his eight-piece band like a professor leading a survey course in American music — taking them through a hard-driving Texas blues, then a smoothly swinging jazz tune, then a Cajun two-step, next a modern funk number, a country ballad, and then back to the blues.
Total word count of piece: 1868
