Classic Texas Country
New Braunfels, United States
New Braunfels, United States
Born and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Terry Allen is an internationally recognized visual artist and songwriter who occupies an utterly unique position straddling the disparate, and usually distant, worlds of conceptual art and country music. As Ken Johnson has observed in The New York Times, “There is just one person whose art has been seen in highbrow museums around the country and is an inductee of the Buddy Holly Walk of Fame in Lubbock. He is Terry Allen.” For over fifty years, since graduating from Chouinard Art Institute in 1966, Allen has dedicated himself to confounding popular perceptions of contemporary art and country, and the traditional mutual alienation of their respective core audiences. His wide-ranging, border-crossing career reveals important insights about interdisciplinarity and collaboration, bridging and belying the widening divisions that define and distort American culture and politics, now more than ever. As Allen sometimes quips, “People tell me it’s country music, and I ask, ‘Which country?’” He has released sixteen influential albums, including the art-country classics Juarez (1974) and Lubbock (on everything) (1979); his hilarious, heartbreaking 2020 record is entitled Just Like Moby Dick.
